Current studies seek to reverse the sequelae and gain functionality in these individuals. Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) has shown to be beneficial in spinal cord function as an evaluation correlated to functionality and for stimulation with physiological and functional characteristics in disease and healthy people. The present study observed the effects of Noise Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation in a patient with chronic spinal cord injury with tetraplegia on postural and trunk control. The evaluations were the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) evaluation, and the Clinical Posturography, using force platform to assess postural balance, in the sitting position, through Sensory Organization and Functional Reach Tests. Ten sessions of Noise Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation associated with customized vestibular and neurofunctional rehabilitation were performed. The effects observed were increments in all assessments and tests that include modifications in functional independence, motor and sensory levels, change in disability grade from A (complete) to C (incomplete), and improvements in postural balance and trunk control. The phenomenon of stochastic resonance has shown benefits in postural control in people without vestibular lesions and we could observe some of these phenomena in our patients. We emphasize the need for evaluation with larger populations to observe the phenomena and effects in this group of patients and potential benefits and limitations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fresc.2022.779846","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,6]],"date-time":"2022-04-06T04:31:12Z","timestamp":1649219472000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Case Report: Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation in the Chronic Spinal Cord Injury Patient"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Tais Nunes","family":"Nascimento","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Catarina Costa","family":"Boffino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"156","DOI":"10.34024\/rnc.2009.v17.8576","article-title":"Cognitive aspects of postural control","volume":"17","author":"Carvalho","year":"2009","journal-title":"Rev Neurocienc."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"370","DOI":"10.34024\/rnc.2010.v18.8460","article-title":"A contribui\u00e7\u00e3o visual para o controle postural","volume":"18","author":"Soares","year":"2010","journal-title":"Rev Neurocienc."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.1590\/fpusp.v10i1.77416","article-title":"As fun\u00e7\u00f5es do controle postural durante a postura ereta","volume":"10","author":"Mochizuki","year":"2003","journal-title":"Ver Fisioter Univ S\u00e3o Paulo"},{"key":"B4","first-page":"11","article-title":"As informa\u00e7\u00f5es sensoriais para o controle postural","volume":"19","author":"Mochizuki","year":"2006","journal-title":"Fisiot Movim."},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"349","DOI":"10.34024\/rnc.2011.v19.8382","article-title":"O papel dos sistemas visual, vestibular, somatosensorial e auditivo para o controle postural","volume":"19","author":"Kleiner","year":"2011","journal-title":"Rev Neurocienc."},{"key":"B6","first-page":"12","article-title":"Avalia\u00e7\u00e3o do alcance funcional de indiv\u00edduos com les\u00e3o medular espinhal usu\u00e1rios de cadeira de rodas","volume":"2","author":"Medola","year":"2009","journal-title":"Revista Movimenta."},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"149","DOI":"10.1016\/S1050-6411(97)88884-0","article-title":"Impaired balance control in paraplegic subjects","volume":"7","author":"Seelen","year":"1997","journal-title":"J Electromyogr Kinesiol."},{"volume-title":"Optimization of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to modulate lower limb motor network in healthy humans","year":"2018","author":"\u00c1guida","key":"B8"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"37575","DOI":"10.1038\/srep37575","article-title":"Noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation induces a sustained improvement in body balance in elderly adults","volume":"6","author":"Fujimoto","year":"2016","journal-title":"Sci Rep"},{"volume-title":"Merritt -
