When it comes to vestibular rehabilitation, it’s important to focus on the peripheral vestibular system. It consists of 5 different types of sensors in each ear: <\/span>the semicircular canals<\/strong> of which there are 3 (horizontal, anterior vertical and posterior canals) and the <\/span>otolith organs <\/strong> 2 (utricle and saccule), for a total of 10 receptors. Sensory cells are ciliated cells whose cilia are immersed in the endolymphatic fluid. The otolith sensory cells are covered by a tectorial membrane encrusted with small calcium carbonate crystals or otoconia (more commonly known as crystals).<\/span><\/div>\n

The semicircular canals detect the amplitude of angular rotation of the head in all three spatial dimensions<\/strong>. The otolith organs are sensitive to the vertical (saccule) or horizontal (utricle) linear acceleration of the head in space, and detect its inclination to gravity.<\/p>\n

In addition to vestibular inputs, these nuclei receive visual and proprioceptive inputs. The vestibular nuclei are therefore not simply relays of information from the inner ear, but true centers of sensory-motor integration<\/strong>. Central vestibular neurons then project to the oculomotor nuclei to stabilize gaze, or to the medulla to stabilize posture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
