Vestibular function

A method of examining the ears through special examinations. When the balance of the human body appears to be impaired, such as walking to one side, etc., a vestibular function test is required to determine whether the vestibular apparatus is diseased, the extent and nature of the lesion. By observing the spontaneous signs caused by vestibular lesions, or by inducing the vestibular response with some physiological or non-physiological stimulus, to help infer the degree and location of vestibular lesions. Vestibular function is one of the three main factors that maintain the body's balance. The organs responsible for vestibular function are called vestibular organs, which are located in the inner ear and include 3 semicircular canals (external, superior, and posterior semicircular canals), an oval capsule, and a balloon. There are cystic spots in the oval capsule and the balloon, also called otoliths. These are the vestibular peripheral receptors. 3 semicircular control divisions exercise balance (such as walking, turning over). Oval sacs and balloons are statically balanced (such as sitting or standing).
