Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare a vestibular and central nervous system to sway a head motion in the stable posture. A displacements of vestibular and central nervous system analyzed to appear the five ranges of stance, the central nervous system of normal eyes open (NO) and normal eye close (NC) showed a big variation across all condition. Vestibular-head motion implied adaptive changes to take place in the control of vestibular reflexes processes and physical mechanism. Vestibule-spinal-flow was to show the vestibular nucleus through to innervate a cervical from the spinal cord. The average of diverse outputs with the perturbations obtained as follows: correlation of variables in the vestibular of head left variable condition and central nervous system of NO state on the motion before was at 9.26±2.59 unit, correlation of variables in the vestibular and central nervous system of NC state condition on the motion before was at 10.34±2.46 unit; correlation of variables in the vestibular of head left variable condition and central nervous system of NO state on the motion after was at 10.37±3.23 unit; correlation of variables in the vestibular and central nervous system of NC state condition on the motion after was at 10.58±2.73 unit; correlation of variables in the vestibular of head left variable condition and central nervous system of NC state on the motion after was at 10.23±3.1 unit. Our results suggest that at least an effect of multiple head perturbation on postural control. There will require postural control response during central nervous system was not only different from vestibular during head right and left, but also from those during head forward and backward.
