Abstract
In experimental method, this study was that galvanic vestibular stimulation in vestibular system influenced the excitability of spinal neuron through. H-reflex was measured by galvanic vestibular stimulation of binaural(right-negative pole and left-positive pole) at left head turning and prone position in sixteen normal subjects in their twenties age were selected. The summary of the comparison results were obtained below. 1. In the change of H reflex according to galvanic vestibular stimulation(GVS), Hmax amplitude(p<.05) increased significantly after stimulation. 2. In the change of H reflex according to galvanic vestibular stimulation(GVS), Hmax/Mmax ratio(p<.05) increased significantly after stimulation. In the conclusion, galvanic vestibular stimulation influenced the excitability of vestibulospinal tract and spinal neuron.
