“…In addition to posturography, we will include gait measures. Vestibular loss or hypofunction is associated with clinical and functional deficits in gait, such as lateral gait deviation and tendency to fall, insecure gait with postural instability or severely slowed gait with fear of falling (Grove, Whitney, Pyle, & Heiderscheit, 2021;Schniepp, Möhwald, & Wuehr, 2023). Gait also changes with age (Jahn, Zwergal, & Schniepp, 2010) and impairments are an early indicator of the onset of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease (Buracchio, Dodge, Howieson, Wasserman, & Kaye, 2010;Valkanova & Ebmeier, 2017).…”
