To compensate for this, the VOR moves the eyes right-to-left slowly, until it reaches the limit, and the eyes then pull to the right rapidly (nystagmus). This is the positional alcohol nystagmus, phase I (PAN I). The unusual vestibular stimulation also caused motion sickness symptoms: illusions of bodily rotations, dizziness, and nausea.
The most common vestibular diseases in humans are vestibular neuritis, a related condition called labyrinthitis, Ménière's disease, and BPPV. In addition, the vestibular system's function can be affected by tumours on the vestibulocochlear nerve , an infarct in the brain stem or in cortical regions related to the processing of vestibular ...
Recovery from acute labyrinthine inflammation generally takes from one to six weeks, but it is not uncommon for residual symptoms such as dysequilibrium and dizziness to last for a couple of months. [25] Recovery from a temporarily damaged inner ear typically follows two phases: An acute period, which may include severe vertigo and vomiting
Recovery from hyperreflexia can occur several hours to several months after a spinal cord injury; the phase of recovery is likely to occur in stages rather than on a continuum. [1] The late stage is between two weeks and several months. [ 1 ]
A dog with degenerative myelopathy often stands with its legs close together and may not correct an unusual foot position due to a lack of conscious proprioception. Canine degenerative myelopathy, also known as chronic degenerative radiculomyelopathy, is an incurable, progressive disease of the canine spinal cord that is similar in many ways to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

In medicine, the caloric reflex test (sometimes termed ' vestibular caloric stimulation ') is a test of the vestibulo-ocular reflex that involves irrigating cold or warm water or air into the external auditory canal. This method was developed by Robert Bárány, who won a Nobel Prize in 1914 for this discovery.
