Authors: Kaczmarczyk K, Błażkiewicz M, Wiszomirska I, Pietrasik K, Zdrodowska A, Wit A, Barton G, Skarżyński H Abstract Background: It is known that cochlear implantation may alter the inner ear and induce vestibular disorders. Research Question: How does cochlear implantation influence gait stability? Material and Methods. An experimental group of twenty-one subjects scheduled for cochlear implantation underwent gait testing twice, on the day before cochlear implantation (BCI) and three months after cochlear implantation (ACI), using a motion capture system. A control group of 30 age-matched healthy individuals were also tested. Results: In the experimental group, the gait stability ratio (GSR) was found to improve in 17 subjects after implantation, by an average of 6%...
