Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to study the relationship between the vestibular system and chronobiology.
Two parts will be performed. In the first one patients with bilateral vestibular areflexia will be compared to control subjects.
In the second the effect of vestibular stimulation on circadian rhythms will be evaluated
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: control Control without vestibular stimulation |
|
No Intervention: Bilateral areflexia Patient with vestibular bilateral areflexia |
|
No Intervention: Areflexia controls Controls for patients with vestibular bilateral areflexia, matched in sex and age |
|
Experimental: vestibular stimulation Subjects submitted to vestibular stimulation in order to improve circadian rhythms |
Behavioral: vestibular stimulation
Physical activity and vestibular stimulation will be used in order to improve circadian rhythms
