Different Types of Mastoid Process Vibrations Affect Dynamic Margin of Stability Differently.

ABSTRACT: The vestibular system is critical for human locomotion. Any deteriorated vestibular system leads to gait instability. In the past decades, these alternations in gait patterns have been majorly measured by the spatial-temporal gait parameters and respective variabilities. However, measuring gait characteristics cannot capture the full aspect of motor controls. Thus, to further understand the effects of deteriorated vestibular system on gait performance, additional measurement needs to be taken into consideration. This study proposed using the margin of stability (MOS) to identify the patterns of dynamic control under different types of mastoid vibrations in walking. This study hypothesized that (1) using the MOS method could facilitate the understanding of another aspect of motor control in
