Balance Re-Training

Balance and postural control rely on the intricate integration of three key systems that relay information about body position and orientation in space.

 

The visual system

informs us about the position and speed of our surroundings, enhancing balance and minimizing the sway caused by external disturbances.

 

The vestibular system

located in the inner ear, plays various roles that aid our sense of proprioception and, including detecting head position and acceleration in any direction, along with corresponding adjustments in eye movement and posture.

 

The somatosensory system

encompasses proprioception, delivers feedback regarding joint position, muscle length, and body orientation in relation to the support surface.
