“…Low selfesteem and higher anxiety levels were reported in patients with vestibular dysfunction. Consistent with observation in this study, balance treatment has showed an improved self-esteem and decreased anxiety in these patients [13]. Vestibular stimulation activates the right inferior frontal region in healthy participants, which reduces the unrealistic optimism [14].…”

The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of vestibular stimulation on self-esteem in young adults. The present study was conducted at Little Flower Institute of Medical Sciences and Research and Little Flower Medical Research Centre, Angamaly. 240 (120 males and 120 females) participants satisfying both inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. This was a longitudinal follow-up study in which, participants were assessed three times. Selfesteem was assessed by using Rosenberg self-esteem scale. In the present study, it was observed that there was a significant increase in the self-esteem scores following the vestibular stimulation. The study supports adoption of vestibular stimulation as an adjunctive therapy to improve self-esteem. We recommend further detailed studies in this area. The current study provides convincing evidence for the beneficial effects of vestibular stimulation on self-esteem in relation to pre-examination stress among young adults of both genders.

“…Further, balance impairment is strongly associated with cognitive impairment in older adults with (Allcock et al, 2009;Mak, Wong, & Pang, 2014;McKay, Lang, Ting, & Hackney, 2018) and without (Camicioli & Majumdar, 2010;Gleason, Gangnon, Fischer, & Mahoney, 2009;Herman et al, 2010;Mirelman et al, 2012) Parkinson's disease, and rehabilitation interventions that simultaneously target cognitive engagement show greater improvement in motor function in healthy aging (Kraft, 2012;Wu, Chan, & Yan, 2016) and in Parkinson's disease (McKay, Ting, & Hackney, 2016;Petzinger et al, 2013) than interventions that target motor function alone. Collaboration across fields could provide new insight into these synergistic benefits of combined interventions and may help explain counterintuitive findings that balance training can ameliorate anxiety disorders (Bart et al, 2009) or that cognitive training can improve balance and gait (Smith-Ray et al, 2015), leading to the development of more integrated treatment strategies for comorbid motor, cognitive, and psychiatric disorders.…”

Do sensorimotor perturbations to standing balance elicit an error‐related negativity?

Detecting and correcting errors is essential to successful action. Studies on response monitoring have examined scalp ERPs following the commission of motor slips in speeded‐response tasks, focusing on a frontocentral negativity (i.e., error‐related negativity or ERN). Sensorimotor neurophysiologists investigating cortical monitoring of reactive balance recovery behavior observe a strikingly similar pattern of scalp ERPs following externally imposed postural errors, including a brief frontocentral negativity that has been referred to as the balance N1. We integrate and review relevant literature from these discrepant fields to suggest shared underlying mechanisms and potential benefits of collaboration across fields. Unlike the cognitive tasks leveraged to study the ERN, balance perturbations afford precise experimental control of postural errors to elicit balance N1s that are an order of magnitude larger than the ERN and drive robust and well‐characterized adaptation of behavior within an experimental session. Many factors that modulate the ERN, including motivation, perceived consequences, perceptual salience, expectation, development, and aging, are likewise known to modulate the balance N1. We propose that the ERN and balance N1 reflect common neural activity for detecting errors. Collaboration across fields could help clarify the functional significance of the ERN and poorly understood interactions between motor and cognitive impairments.

Threat Assessment and Locomotion: Clinical Applications of an Integrated Model of Anxiety and Postural Control

Interactions between anxiety and vestibular symptoms have been described since the late 1800s. Typically, they have been conceptualized as bidirectional effects of one condition on the other (i.e., anxiety disorders as a cause of vestibular symptoms and vestibular disorders as a cause of anxiety symptoms). Over the past 30 years, however, a steady progression of neurophysiological investigations of gait and stance under conditions of postural threat, neuroanatomical studies of connections between threat assessment and vestibular pathways in the brain, and clinical research on anxiety-related vestibular conditions has offered the building blocks of a more integrated model. In this newer concept, threat assessment is an integral component of spatial perception, postural control, and locomotion in health and disease. It is not imposed on the vestibular system from the outside or simply reactive to vestibular dysfunction, but an inherently necessary part of every aspect of mobility. In this article, the authors review evidence that supports this model and then use it to examine common neurotologic conditions in which anxiety-related processes play important roles-fear of falling, primary and secondary anxiety disorders in patients with vestibular symptoms, and chronic subjective dizziness.
