Understanding Balance and Fall Risk
Physical therapy addresses the underlying cause of dizziness, vertigo and balance issues.
The Basics of the Vestibular System
The vestibular system is part of your nervous system and helps to maintain your balance and orientation in space. Your vestibular system is essential for performing many tasks, such as standing, walking, and running.
The vestibular system consists of two main components: the central vestibular system and the peripheral vestibular system.
The vestibular system consists of two main components: the central vestibular system and the peripheral vestibular system.
- Central vestibular system — located in the brainstem and cerebellum, this system receives signals from the peripheral vestibular system and other sensory systems, including proprioception and vision. The central vestibular system processes these signals and sends commands to your eyes and muscles to adjust your eye movements and posture.
- Peripheral nervous system — located in your inner ear and includes the semicircular canal, the utricle, and the saccule. These structures contain sensory cells, called cilia, that detect movement and the position of your head.
Injuries, infections, tumors, or aging can interfere with the normal functioning of your vestibular system, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, hearing loss, tinnitus, and nausea. These symptoms can lead to an increased risk of falling.
What Is Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)?
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is a form of balance retraining therapy. It involves performing specific exercises to stimulate your vestibular system to train your brain to adapt to changes in your inner ear by using other sensory systems, such as proprioception and vision, to maintain your balance.
Benefits of Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular rehabilitation helps to improve your balance and stability, reduce dizziness and vertigo, improve mobility, confidence, and independence, and decrease your risk of falls, which helps to enhance your quality of life.
