Balance systems   Somatosensory, Visual, Vestibular  
🗑
Somatosensory   Input from hips, legs, ankles, feet based on surface we are standing on. Major role in maintenance of balance. Transmits info you are conscious of: touch, pain, temperature.  
🗑
Visual system   Visual input is compared and contrasted with other systems in perception of the world around us. Discrepancies can result in sensory conflict within the CNS (motion-sickness) and equilibrium probs.  
🗑
Vestibular System   1. semicircular canals and 2. vestibule  
🗑
Semicircular canals   Fluid-filled. Changes of head position/planes of motion (angular acceleration). Linked to vis. system to maintain a stable visual image (vestibulo-ocular reflex). Cranial nerves, processing centers, eye muscles coordinate with inner ear structures.  
🗑
Vestibule   One of the otolith organs (ampullae are the other) which respond to linear acceleration (elevator - up & down; car- forward & backward).  
🗑
Vestibular-ocular reflex (VOR)   Eye movement that stabilizes and centers images on the fovea (area of retina) during head movement.  
🗑
Nystagmus   VOR adjustments of the eye muscles.  
🗑
Vestibular Testing   Audiologic, head rotation testing (Rotary Chair, Videonystagmography),balance testing (Computerized Dynamic Posturography - CDP)  
🗑
Rotary Chair Test   rotational chair ✤ light-restricted booth ✤ head secured ✤ records eye movement (usually) ✤ eyes should move opposite to the direction and plane of head movement  
🗑
Videonystagmography   infrared goggles capture eye movements ✤ recordings are computer analyzed ✤ evaluates inner ear structures, sensory and motor function of ocular muscles and brainstem processing ✤ caloric subtest irrigates each ear with cold/warm water.  
🗑
Computerized Dynamic Posturography - CDP   ✤ Tests balance under various condition w/ pressure-sensitive footplate ✤ computer measures shifts in body weight and center of gravity. ✤ useful in documenting deficits in balance performance  
🗑
VRT   Vestibular rehabilitation treatment  
🗑
BPPV   Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
