Aging of vestibular function evaluated using correlational vestibular autorotation test

Abstract: BackgroundImbalance from degeneration of vestibular end organs is a common problem in the elderly. However, the decline of vestibular function with aging was revealed in few vestibular function tests such as vestibular autorotation test (VAT). In the current VAT, there are drawbacks of poor test–retest reliability, slippage of the sensor at high-speed rotations, and limited data about the effect of aging. We developed a correlational-VAT (cVAT) system that included a small, light sensor (less than 20 g) with w… Show more

“…In the theory of Traditional Chinese medicine, vestibular migraine vertigo is classified as “headache,” “headwind,” and “vertigo” [ 2 ]. It is thought that it is mostly due to phlegm, wind, silt, and fire disturbance to clear the body, plus the body qi deficiency and kidney essence deficiency resulting in loss of nutrition of the marrow sea [ 3 ].…”

“…As with other sensory systems, e.g., hearing, the vestibular sensory system deteriorates with age ( 12 14 ). Because vestibular reflexes contribute to both the gaze and balance control, both functions are assumed to decline with age, too ( 12 , 15 ). The elderly (those over 60 years of age) have greater trunk angular sway during stance and stance tasks compared to younger subjects ( 16 – 19 ).…”

“…We hypothesize that the HTPG increases after middle age to adapt to postural instability, common in middle-aged and elderly people. 14,[35][36][37] An increase in the HTPG reinforces the righting reflex to maintain postural balance. A similar mechanism was reported by Zu Eulenburg et al 38 Regarding sex differences, the HTPG was significantly smaller in men than in women, but the HU-SVV and HTPG laterality were not influenced by sex.…”
