Balance On this page: A balance disorder is a disturbance that causes an individual to feel unsteady, giddy, woozy, or have a sensation of movement, spinning, or floating. An organ in our inner ear, the labyrinth , is an important part of our vestibular (balance) system. The labyrinth interacts with other systems in the body, such as the visual (eyes) and skeletal (bones and joints) systems, to maintain the body's position. These systems, along with the brain and the nervous system, can be the source of balance problems. Three structures of the labyrinth, the semicircular canals, let us know when we are in a rotary (circular) motion. The semicircular canals, the superior, posterior, and horizontal, are fluid-filled. Motion of the fluid tells us if we are moving. The semicircular canals and the visual and skeletal systems have specific functions that determine an individual's orientation. The vestibule is the region of the inner ear where the semicircular canals converge, close to the

Vestibular Therapy Facial nerve disorders do not occur as frequently as auditory and vestibular disorders. When they do occur they tend to accompany these disorders since the facial nerve is closely associated with the auditory and vestibular systems. Insults that affect one system may affect any combination of the three. About the Clinical Center The Clinical Center for Auditory, Vestibular, and Facial Nerve Disorders at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas is dedicated to serving the vast number of individuals who suffer from these related diseases. The Clinical Center combines patient care and clinical research with basic science expertise of a multidisciplinary nature, in the hope of providing a basis for more effective prevention and treatment. While patients who suffer from hearing loss, tinnitus, or disequilibrium continue to present a challenge to the medical profession, new technological and medical advances permit many patients to be successfully evaluated and treated. The Clinical Center is designed to serve physicians as a resource for their patients whose medical problems related to hearing, balance, and facial nerve paralysis are either elusive, advanced, or complex. Accomplishments Faculty within the Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at UT Southwestern comprise the core clinical and research group of the Clinical Center for Auditory, Vestibular, and Facial Nerve Disorders. These physicians work in concert with faculty in other related departments to form a multidisciplinary team. Affiliated faculty include individuals from the UT Southwestern departments of Neurology, Neurological Surgery, Ophthalmology, Radiology, Anesthesiology, and Psychiatry.

Vestibular Balance Disorders At A Glance Ponder this: if a cat is dropped upside down, it will land right side up on all four paws. If a newborn infant is tilted backward, its eyes will roll downward so that its gaze remains fixed on the same point. If, as you read this article, you shake your head rapidly from side to side, the print nonetheless will stand still. Each of these scenarios is an example of how a healthy balance (vestibular) system compensates for daily changes in our spatial orientation. Balance is a state of body equilibrium or stability. We often take for granted how dependent we are on a healthy balance system. When the system breaks down, however, patients will describe symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, lightheadedness, or motion sickness.
