The vestibular system includes the parts of the inner ear and brain that process the sensory information involved with controlling balance and eye movements. If disease or injury damages these processing areas, disorders of dizziness or balance can result.
The vestibular system includes the parts of the inner ear and brain that help control balance and eye movements. If the system is damaged by disease, aging, or injury, vestibular disorders can result, and are often associated with one or more of these symptoms, among others: Dizziness: A sensation of lightheadedness, faintness, or unsteadiness.
The inner ear's vestibular organs and the associated nerves and brain centers form a complex system that serve many functions and can be affected by a number of outside systems, such as vision and proprioception (i.e. your muscles and joints). A thorough evaluation of your vestibular function may involve: - Medical history - Physical examination - Tests of inner ear function - Hearing tests ...
Über Vestibularisstörung. Zum vestibulären System gehören die Teile des Innenohrs und Gehirns, welche die Informationen, die an der Gleichgewichtskontrolle und den Augenbewegungen involviert sind, verarbeiten.
ABOUT THE HUMAN BALANCE SYSTEM Maintaining balance depends on information received by the brain from the eyes, muscles and joints, and vestibular organs in the inner ear. When this system is disrupted by damage to one or more components through injury, disease, or the aging process you may experience impaired balance accompanied by other symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, vision problems ...
Doctors use information from a person’s medical history and findings from a physical examination as a basis for diagnosing vestibular disorders using tests to assess the vestibular system function and rule out alternative causes of symptoms.
