Disorders of vestibular function - what does this mean
Disorders of vestibular function occur when the vestibular system, which is responsible for maintaining balance and spatial orientation, is impaired. this can be caused by a variety of factors, such as head trauma, infections, genetic conditions, and certain medications. symptoms of vestibular dysfunction include vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, and nausea.
What happens during the disease - disorders of vestibular function
Disorders of vestibular function are caused by damage to the vestibular system, which includes the inner ear and the brain structures that process the sensory information it receives. this damage can be caused by a variety of factors, such as viral or bacterial infections, head trauma, tumors, and autoimmune disorders. when the vestibular system is damaged, it can cause problems with balance, coordination, and the ability to maintain orientation in space.
