Mission To support and empower vestibular patients on their journey back to balance. Vision We envision a world where vestibular disorders are widely understood, rapidly diagnosed, and effectively treated so patients can restore balance and regain

Introduction Jusqu'à récemment, la plupart des professionnels de la santé supposaient que les problèmes de la fonction vestibulaire affectaient principalement les adultes, et que seul un petit nombre d'enfants était concerné. Cependant, il existe de

COMMENT MAINTENIR L'ÉQUILIBRE ? L'équilibre normal dépend de nombreux facteurs, notamment de plusieurs systèmes du corps, ainsi que de facteurs externes et environnementaux. Le corps possède trois systèmes sensoriels primaires qui travaillent ensemble pour créer

Dizziness, vertigo and disequilibrium are common symptoms reported by adults during visits to their doctors. They are all symptoms that can result from a peripheral vestibular disorder (a dysfunction of the balance organs of the inner ear) or central vestibular disorder (a dysfunction of one or more parts of the central nervous system that help process balance and spatial information). Although these three symptoms can be linked by a common cause, they have different meanings, and describing them accurately can mean the difference between a successful diagnosis and one that is missed.

Become your own healthcare advocate. The more you know, the better you can communicate with your healthcare provider. VeDA’s scientific articles can help you understand the causes of dizziness, how vestibular disorders are diagnosed, how your vision system is connected to your vestibular (inner ear) system, and what are the different types of vestibular disorders.

Chronic light-sensitivity can act as a catalyst for dizziness, vertigo, lightheadedness, headache and other symptoms that are often associated with vestibular disorders. In this article, we take an in-depth look at the experiences of those with vestibular-related photophobia and offer tips for keeping it in check.

Good balance is often taken for granted. Most people don’t find it difficult to walk across a gravel driveway, transition from walking on a sidewalk to grass, or get out of bed in the middle of the night without stumbling. However, with impaired balance such activities can be extremely fatiguing and sometimes dangerous. Symptoms that accompany the unsteadiness can include dizziness, vertigo, hearing and vision problems, and difficulty with concentration and memory.

En 1861, el médico francés Prosper Ménière teorizó que los ataques de vértigo, zumbidos en los oídos (tinnitus) y pérdida de audición provenían del oído interno y no del cerebro, como se creía generalmente en

Vestibular disorders are not unique to humans. All higher animals that have a vestibular system—from fish to mammals—can be afflicted, including cats and dogs.
