Effects of unilateral neck muscle vibration on tilt direction and variability of subjective postural vertical in the frontal plane during seated posture in healthy adults
These findings highlight the role of sensorimotor integration in body orientation and suggest that unilateral NMV may enhance the precision of verticality estimation. Based on this preliminary study, NMV could be a promising intervention for individuals with SPV abnormalities.
