The effect of physical exercise on compensation for locomotor asymmetry after unilateral labyrinthectomy was studied in squirrel monkeys. Five monkeys were assigned to the motor-driven rotating cage exercise, and another five, non-exercise control. Daily exercise (cumulative time of 2 1/2 hours) was given for three weeks preoperatively and continuously (daily) post-operatively. The average number of calendar days to attain the locomotor balance compensation was 20 days in the exercise group, and 35 days in the non-exercise control group. Statistical analysis showed the former compensated (according to the previously established criterion) significantly faster than the latter ( less than 0.05). Furthermore, faster reduction of gait deviation was found in the exercise group. Therefore, when physical exercise was given extensively and continuously, and locomotor balance function was measured by the squirrel monkey platform runway test (Igarashi, 1974), physical exercise application enhanced the locomotor equilibrium compensation.
在松鼠猴身上研究了体育锻炼对单侧迷路切除术后运动不对称补偿的影响。五只猴子被分配到电动旋转笼运动组，另外五只作为非运动对照组。术前三周每天进行运动（累计时间为2.5小时），术后持续（每天）进行。达到运动平衡补偿的平均日历天数在运动组为20天，在非运动对照组为35天。统计分析表明，前者（根据先前确立的标准）比后者补偿得明显更快（小于0.05）。此外，运动组的步态偏差减少得更快。因此，当广泛且持续地进行体育锻炼，并通过松鼠猴平台跑道试验（Igarashi，1974年）测量运动平衡功能时，体育锻炼的应用增强了运动平衡补偿。
