Vestibular Rehabilitation – Recommended Treatment for Permanent Unilateral Vestibular Loss

Abstract

Vestibular sensorial structures are in the inner ear, in the posterior labyrinth and they are responsible for detecting any angular and linear acceleration of head and body. In response to movement, effects of gravity and the position in space of the head and body, relatively to ground, vestibular sensorial hair cells are stimulated and action potentials originated here are send to the nervous central system.
