BONUS: How Vestibular Imbalances Influence Gait and Muscle Activation - Dr. Coppus Presents at for the American Posture Institute
Tue Feb 03 2026
In this episode, Dr. Joseph Coppus explores the often-overlooked role of the vestibular system in gait and posture. Drawing from clinical neuroscience and current research, he breaks down how subtle vestibular imbalances, sometimes without obvious dizziness, can drive asymmetrical muscle activation at rest and during movement. You’ll learn how these imbalances influence gait mechanics, how to identify them clinically, and why addressing vestibular input is essential for restoring symmetry, efficiency, and neurologic resilience.
