Improving Trip and Slip-Resisting Skills in Older People: Perturbation Dose MattersAging negatively affects balance recovery responses following trips and slips. We hypothesize that older people can benefit from brief treadmill-based trip and slip-perturbation exposure despite reduced muscular capacities, but with neuropathology their responsiveness to these perturbations will be decreased. Thus, to facilitate long-term benefits and their generalizability to everyday life, one needs to consider the...

Vestibular Implantation and the Feasibility of Fluoroscopy-Guided Electrode InsertionRecent research has shown promising results for the development of a clinically feasible vestibular implant in the near future. However, correct electrode placement remains a challenge. It was shown that fluoroscopy was able to visualize the semicircular canal ampullae and electrodes, and guide electrode insertion in real time. Ninety-four percent of the 18 electrodes were implanted correctly (<1.5 mm distance...
