Abstract:A labyrinth for stable walking: The role of head orientation and vestibular information in stabilizing gait
Summary
The central nervous system integrates a range of sensory inputs with motor outputs to ensure an essential function: the control of gait stability. The visual, somatosensory, and vestibular systems provide information to the central nervous system to keep the center of mass within the base of support while walking. The vestibular system plays a primary role in spatial orientation and head stabili… Show more
