title: [Effects of some physical training on vestibular function].
abstract: Objective. To study the effects of active vestibular conditioning by some physical training on the vestibular function. Method. 10 subjects were given five kinds training gyro wheel, hanging ladder, ripple wood, four column swing and rotating swing for two weeks. Vestibular experimental tests were given before and after training. Result. After physical training, subjects' linear acceleration tolerance time increased significantly, the result of computer dynamic equilibrium posturegraphy demonstrated that the sway of body center of gravity decreased significantly when subjects maintained their equilibrium by both vestibular and visual information. Conclusion. The linear acceleration physical training methods used in this experiment have positive effects, while the methods of angular acceleration training need further investigation.
