Can virtual reality replace conventional vestibular rehabilitation tools in multisensory balance exercises for vestibular disorders? A non-inferiority study by Gaël Le Perf, Guillaume Thebault, Claire Duflos, Fanchon Herman, Sylvie Cauquil-Gleizes, Isabelle Laffont

“…Abstract Background Vestibular rehabilitation uses multisensory balance exercises to optimize the integration and weighting of sensory inputs, including visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive signals. Head-mounted displays (HMDs) have emerged as a promising tool for these exercises, offering the ability to generate unreliable or conflicting visual stimuli, thereby enhancing vestibular and proprioceptive input weighting. …”

Vestibular Testing Results in a World-Famous Tightrope Walker by Alexander A. Tarnutzer, Fausto Romano, Nina Feddermann-Demont, Urs Scheifele, Marco Piccirelli, Giovanni Bertolini, Jürg Kesselring, Dominik Straumann

“…In this study, we examined both peripheral and central vestibular functions in a world-renowned 53-year-old male tightrope walker and investigated the extent to which his exceptional performance was reflected in our findings. Methods: Comprehensive assessments were conducted, including semicircular canal function tests (caloric irrigation, rotatory-chair testing, video head impulse testing of all six canals, dynamic visual acuity) and otolith function evaluations (subjective visual vertical, fundus photography, ocular/cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials [oVEMPs/cVEMPs]). …”

Eye-hand coordination during upper limb motor tasks in individuals with or without a neurodevelopmental disorder: a systematic review by Manel Abid, Manel Abid, Isabelle Poitras, Isabelle Poitras, Martine Gagnon, Catherine Mercier, Catherine Mercier

“…In the case of more complex tasks in terms of visuomotor and/or cognitive integration, especially for the more complex manipulation or sequential movements, individuals with NDD exhibited significantly different behaviors, with larger temporal gaps between the timing of eyes movement relative to that of the hand and more reliance on visual monitoring of hand movements.ConclusionThe results of this systematic review suggest that individuals with NDD face significant challenges in efficiently integrating visual and motor information during UL tasks that are visually, cognitively and/or physically more demanding, with more reliance on visual feedback control. …”
