Aims:
- Determine the effect of tilts in the pitch plane
with and without visual feedback on cerebral blood flow and cerebral
autoregulation in healthy elderly with and without vestibular
hypofunction and healthy young subjects.
- Determine the effect of otolith vs otolith and
canal stimulation on cerebral blood flow in healthy elderly with and
without vestibular hypofunction and healthy young subjects.
- Determine the effect of canal vs canal and otolith
stimulation on cerebral blood flow in elderly subjects with normal and
reduced vestibular function.
- Determine the effect of training subjects to
associate otolith input as tilt on cerebral blood flow during
orthostatic stress in elderly subjects with intact and impaired
vestibular function.
