PY - 2014 T2 - Vestibular Rehabilitation AB - The vestibular system senses motion of the head for the purposes of maintaining stability of images on the fovea of the retina and stability of postural control during that head motion. In normal function, the vestibular receptors provide an elegant and accurate representation of the motion of the head in three dimensions. This information is then carried along central vestibular pathways to control the reflexes and perceptions that are mediated by the vestibular system. Disorders of vestibular function result in abnormalities in these reflexes and lead to sensations that reflect abnormal information. SN - PB - F. A.
