Implication

Dynamic vestibular activation may increase respiratory rate via semicircular canals; leaves open any clinical relevance in humans.

Structured PICO

Does vestibular activation alter respiration in humans?

Population

Humans

Intervention

Vestibular activation via dynamic upright pitch and roll, dynamic yaw and lateral pitch, dynamic chair rotation, and static head-down rotation

Comparator

Static head-down rotation (which activates otolith organs) or baseline

Outcome

Respiratory measures (respiratory rate, minute ventilation), arterial blood pressure, and heart ratesurrogate

Semicircular canals, but not otolith organs or neck muscle afferents, mediate increased ventilation in humans during vestibular activation.
