A ROTATORY MANEUVER TO REDUCE IMBALANCE OF THE VESTIBULAR SYSTEM IN PATIENTS WITH VESTIBULAR VERTIGO
In an attempt to diminish the intensity of vertigo, this study was designed to reduce the imbalance between the vestibular system on the two sides. By rotating the subjects with a string-activated rotating chair in opposite direction of the dominant side, the dominant side would be inhibited and simultaneously the subordinate ide would be stimulated. Eight patients with vestibular vertigo c...
متن کاملThe Vestibular System
Information about the position and movement of the body with respect to the external environment is vital for normal bodily function. It allows us, for example, to walk and run upright without falling over, and at the same time to maintain steady fixation on an object that may itself be moving. The speed and precision with which the mammalian brain can gather and use this information is evident...
متن کاملThe vestibular system
Small, beautifully formed and locked in the skull, the vestibular organs continuously bombard the brain with messages. The messages are quite unlike any others. They tell of accelerations, how the head is rotating and translating and its orientation in space. The messages never stop and cannot be turned off. Even when we are completely motionless, they signal the relentless pull of gravity. Per...
متن کاملDevelopment of the Vestibular System
This review mainly focuses on the development of the vestibular system in humans and other mammals, but reference is made to anurans and other species where applicable. In the first section, the steps involved in the development of undifferentiated cells into mature vestibular receptors are analysed. Available data indicate that in humans, maturation of the vestibular receptor and its afferent ...

responsible for the perception of the forces associated with head movement and gravity. Control centers within the brainstem integrate this information along with other biologic signals derived from vision and proprioceptive sensors in the final determination of an individual’s orientation in three-dimensional space.1 Although anatomically developed and responsive at birth, the vestibular syste...
