Summary
This study tested a special rocking chair designed to stimulate the body's balance system (vestibular system) in 30 adults. The goal was to see if the chair could make people consciously feel movement and cause eye reflexes, helping researchers better understand balance disorders that often lead to falls in older people. The study focused on measuring eye movements, not on providing treatment.
