Vestibular stimulation influences both bodily ownership and postural control. Although previous studies in the literature have examined the effects of galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) on body ownership and balance separately, their combined and time-dependent effects remain insufficiently explored....
✦ Clinical Takeaway ✦
No actionable change for clinical practice at this stage; findings are experimental and relevant primarily to researchers investigating vestibular-cortical body-ownership mechanisms rather than to practicing audiologists or balance clinicians.
✦ Why It Matters ✦
Understanding how galvanic vestibular stimulation modulates bodily ownership perception could inform future therapeutic applications for balance disorders and rehabilitation science.
✦ Key Points ✦
- 01Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) delivers mild electrical currents to the vestibular system to alter balance and perception.
