Q

The vestibular system acts as umpire with there is conflict about which conditions?

A

surface/vision

20
Q

What motor outputs is the vestibular system responsible for generating?

A

VOR

VSR

21
Q

What are the three phases of sensory integration for postural control?

A
  1. PROCESS inputs from periphery
  2. WEIGHT inputs based on relevance to task and environment
  3. SELECT sensory strategy
22
Q

What is sensory strategy selection based on?

A

availability of inputs
accuracy
value to the task at hand

23
Q

With a stable surface, what are the relative contributions of each of the systems?

A

70% SS
20% Vestibular
10% Visual

24
Q

With an unstable surface, what are the relative contributions of each of the systems?

A

60% Vestibular
30% Visual
10% SS

25
Q

What does posturography testing measure?

A

SWAY

quantifies standing balance in response to changes in sensory inputs

26
Q

Posturography condition 1

A

*all systems available

27
Q

Posturography condition 2

A 
vision eliminated (eyes closed)
*vestibular and SS still available
28
Q

Posturography condition 3

A 
vision inaccurate (sway reference visual surround)
*challenges system to detect visual error and relies on vestibular to act as umpire
29
Q

Posturography condition 4

A 
SS inaccurate (sway reference platform)
*vestibular and vision are available
30
Q

Posturography condition 5

A

SS inaccurate and vision eliminated (sway reference platform and eyes closed)
*relies mostly on vestibular

31
Q

Posturography condition 6

A

SS inaccurate, vision inaccurate (sway reference platform and visual surround)
*relies solely on vestibular

32
Q

CTSIB stands for?

A

clinical test for sensory interaction in balance

33
Q

Describe the 3 posturography motor strategies:

A
  1. sway (ankle strategy)
  2. hip strategy
  3. step or change in support (fall)
34
Q

Posturography sensory strategies answer these 2 questions:

A

What systems are hypofxning?

What systems are more heavily weighted?

35
Q

CTSIB is used to determine:

A

how sensory information is used to maintain vertical orientation (clinical use of the 6 conditions used for posturography)

36
Q

How do you measure body sway for CTSIB?

A

measure body sway in identical posture for 30 seconds in each condition (feet together, hands on hips)

37
Q

How do you make SS inaccurate for conditions 4, 5, and 6 with CTSIB?

A

foam!

38
Q

Which conditions are eliminated in the modified CTSIB?

A

3 and 6

39
Q

Describe the modified CTSIB protocol:

A
  1. eyes open standing on firm surface (all systems available)
  2. eyes closed standing on firm surface (rely on SS and vestibular)
  3. eyes open standing on foam (rely on vestibular and vision)
  4. eyes closed standing on foam (rely on vestibular)
40
Q

What kind of motor response does the SC generate in postural control?

A

generates very short latency stretch responses and not effective against postural perturbations by themselves

41
Q

Longer loop responses for postural control are mediated by the _____.

A

cortex

42
Q

Integration of sensory inputs and generation of automatic, postural responses from:

A

vestibular nuclei

reticular formation

43
Q

Brainstem response latency for postural control compared to SC response latency?

A

Brainstem longer than SC

44
Q

Longer loop responses for postural control work to adapt and fine tune postural responses with ______.

A

experience

45
Q

Longer loop responses for postural control preselect responses given features of the ______.

A

task or environment

46
Q

Longer loop cortex mediated responses for postural control are responsible for longer latency responses such as:

A

stepping, change in support
