简要总结

Mobilization, specifically verticalization, has been shown to play a role in enhancing consciousness. Vestibular stimulation has the potential to influence the neural substrate of consciousness, but this modality has not been thoroughly explored. The primary aim of this study is to compare the influence of verticalization with and without vestibular input on level of consciousness in patients experiencing disorders of consciousness (DoC).
