The impact of a vestibular dysfunction on cognitive and motor performance in adults in single and dual-task condition Ghent University
Aside from typical symptoms such as postural imbalance, vertigo, dizziness, nausea, and problems with gaze stabilization, patients with vestibular disorders (VD) often suffer from cognitive impairment (memory loss, loss of concentration, inability to multitask, fatigue, and headaches). On the one hand, these cognitive symptoms may be directly related to altered (e.g. hippocampal) vestibular projections throughout the brain, which are also ...

A blended experimental and computational approach to assess control of standing balance KU Leuven
With age, our ability to complete seemingly simple activities of daily living declines. Older adults move slower, less accurate and more often lose their balance resulting in frequent falls, which might lead to significant injuries requiring medical attention and leading to loss of independence. Age is associated with declines in muscle strength, sensory acuity, motor acuity and cognitive ability, but our understanding of the relative ...
