What is vestibular physiotherapy?
Movement
is made possible by coordinating various muscle groups and body ability to maintain balance during movement. The balance is controlled by the vestibular body system, mostly inside the inner ear, control of eye movement and muscle control. Vestibular physiotherapy is a division of therapy designed to identify and treat problems with balance affecting everyday life.
The vestibular system operates in coordination with eyes or visual system and skeletal system, consisting of muscles, bones and joints to determine and maintain the position of the body, as one moves or at rest. Problems with this system often lead to dizziness or unstable view, the inability to focus on the object to maintain balance. This can lead to unstable operation or inability to maintain balance, especially when moving. Symptoms of vestibular problems are also things such as general dizziness, also referred to as dizziness, nebolyightheadedness and feelings of falling. In some cases can blurred VIThe events and a sense of disorientation or confusion also contribute to a change in the ability to move smoothly and deliberately. When the movement is changed by instability, vestibular physiotherapy is indicated to help correct these shortcomings to increase overall stable mobility.
Although vestibular physiotherapy cannot correct internal ear problems associated with deficiencies of balance, this can help force the central nervous system to compensate for changes in movement problems. This form of physical therapy attempts to acquaint the body with changes, leading to better tolerance of movement of continuous movement therapy and combining the use of head, eyes and body to reduce symptoms. This is achieved by a progressive exercise program aimed at incorporating all the necessary components of repetition of balance until the body learns the management mechanisms and starts to adapt to changes in the body position without demonstrating symptomsFluid, asymptomatic movement.
For example, an individual that demonstrates extreme dizziness with a simple head rotation could benefit from the vestibular physiotherapy program from simple exercises to learn to train a stationary object to reduce Vertigo and regain balance in a sitting position. Once the techniques of compensation learn, vestibular physiotherapy could proceed to integrate the movement of the upper body, followed by the movement of the lower body until the individual can change the position without dizziness. Other techniques may include rocking or swing at different speeds from time to time to reduce the time required to adapt the body. Once the techniques of compensation are finely tuned, vestibular physiotherapy involves balance techniques into position and walking.
