Subclinical posterior semicircular canal hypofunction without functional or postural impact in healthy older adults: an exploratory cross-sectional study of a structure–function dissociation
Preprint: cross-sectional study of 40 peopleMechanisms
Abstract
Background . An age-related decrease in the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) has been identified in the posterior semicircular canals of healthy older adults in recent studies. However, the potential functional and postural repercussions have not been examined in those articles.
