  2. Vestibular rehabilitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_rehabilitation

    Because the methods of vestibular rehabilitation therapy differ for different disorders, the form of vestibular dysfunction, ability level, and history of symptoms, each patient must be carefully assessed in order to diagnose vestibular dysfunction and to choose the correct exercises for treatment.Vestibular physiotherapy entails precise maneuvers and sports designed to deal with inner ear ...

  3. Balance disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_disorder

    Dysequilibrium arising from bilateral loss of vestibular function – such as can occur from ototoxic drugs such as gentamicin – can also be treated with balance retraining exercises (vestibular rehabilitation) although the improvement is not likely to be full recovery. [11] [12]

  4. Labyrinthitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinthitis

    Rehabilitation strategies most commonly used are: [20] Gaze stability exercises – moving the head from side to side while fixated on a stationary object (aimed at assisting the eye to fixate during head rotation without the input from the lost canal vestibulo-ocular reflex). An advanced progression of this exercise would be walking in a ...

  5. Cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy, vestibular areflexia syndrome

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellar_ataxia...

    Cerebellar ataxia with neuropathy and vestibular areflexia syndrome (CANVAS) is an autosomal recessive late-onset heredodegenerative multisystem neurological disease. The symptoms include poor balance and difficulty walking. Chronic cough and difficulty swallowing may also be present.

  6. Vestibulo-ocular reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibulo-ocular_reflex

    The vestibulo-ocular reflex is driven by signals arising from the vestibular system of the inner ear. The semicircular canals detect head rotation and provide the rotational component, whereas the otoliths detect head translation and drive the translational component.

  7. Righting reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Righting_reflex

    The vestibular system is composed of inner ear organs forming the "labyrinth": the semicircular canals, the otoliths, and the cochlea.The section below is an overview of the vestibular system, as it is crucial to the understanding of the righting reflex.

  8. Mal de debarquement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mal_de_debarquement

    Participants of this study were exposed to therapeutic interventions, such as vestibular rehabilitation therapy, to stimulate the vestibular-ocular reflex and reform their perception of gravity and motion. The results indicated that opto-kinetic stimulation was effective in alleviating the pulling sensation experienced by MdDS.

  9. Frenkel exercises - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenkel_exercises

    Frenkel's book states that the best way to perform the exercises is to do them for three minutes using some kind of timer so the exercises become less of a chore. Then the patient should do something entirely different and unrelated for fifteen minutes, say read a book or have a chat.
