WHAT IS THE VESTIBULAR SYSTEM?
The vestibular system consists of a very intricate connection between the brain, inner ear receptors, the vision system, and sensory receptors in very specific areas of the body (the neck, ankles, knees, and hips). Information from the inner ear, vision, and body’s receptors is gathered and processed by the particular areas of the brain. If disease or injury damages any of these processing centers or connections between them, vestibular disorders occur.
Adults and children alike can suffer from vestibular problems, so if your child experiences any of the above symptoms, then he or she may also benefit from vestibular therapy.
Dizziness and impaired balance are major risk factors for falls in older people.
