Inner Ear Two structures of the inner ear help to maintain balance and equilibrium - * the three semicircular canals that are interconnected and positioned at right angles to each other just like a gyroscope. read more
Maintaining balance of our body, its not a task carried out by any one organ of our body. Body part responsible for maintaining balance are : Cerebellum (part of our brain) Labyrinth ( part of inner ear) Eyes ( our vision) . Coordination of these 3 help us to mainatain balance. And problem or lesion in any of these part may affect the balance. read more
The eyes, the joints and muscles and the vestibular organs in the inner ears control a body's balance by sending nerve signals to the brain. Dysfunction in any one of these systems can result in loss of balance. read more
Balance is the ability to maintain the body’s center of mass over its base of support. 1 A properly functioning balance system allows humans to see clearly while moving, identify orientation with respect to gravity, determine direction and speed of movement, and make automatic postural adjustments to maintain posture and stability in various conditions and activities. read more
Maintaining balance of our body, its not a task carried out by any one organ of our body. Body part responsible for maintaining balance are : 1. Cerebellum (part of our brain) 2. read more
These visual sensory signals are used by the brain to help maintain balance. Sensory input provided by muscles and joints, the sense of proprioception, is received by the brain. The muscles and joints are surrounded by sensory receptors sensitive to pressure or stretch, and these sensory impulses tell the brain what the body is doing at any instant. read more
Balance is achieved and maintained by a complex set of sensorimotor control systems that include sensory input from vision (sight), proprioception (touch), and the vestibular system (motion, equilibrium, spatial orientation); integration of that sensory input; and motor output to the eye and body muscles. read more
