Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Vestibular Rehabilitation AB - The vestibular system develops relatively early in gestation.1-4 The vestibular system is composed of vestibulo-ocular and vestibulospinal subsystems, each with distinct tasks and each requires different methods of assessment. Labyrinthine reflexes, which are mediated by the vestibulospinal system, provide postural tone necessary for the emergence of early motor milestones (e.g., rolling, sitting, standing).5–7 The role of the vestibulo-ocular system in visual stabilization, acuity, and the development of visual spatial and perception abilities has been well documented.8–11 It is therefore logical to deduce that individuals with deficits of the vestibular system since birth or very early in life will present with difficulties in either motor or visuospatial abilities or both.12,13 SN - PB - F.
