Information about the balance system

 There are three components of balance, which include our eyes, balance organ and movement sensors. Our brain uses the information from these systems to help us maintain our balance and equilibrium. When the vestibular organ is affected, dizziness or vertigo can be experienced. These balance problems can happen without warning and can have a severe impact on a person’s independence; thus, it is important to identify the cause of the problem for appropriate management.
