The Protective Stepping Response in Patients With Bilateral Vestibular Hypofunction
Protective stepping after postural instability is a defense mechanism that prevents falls. Vestibular patients have increased risk of falling, but little is known about their stepping response. In this study, we investigate whether the protective stepping response is preserved in patients with bilateral vestibular hypofunction (BVH).
