Cervicogenic Dizziness: What It Is, Why It Happens, and How to Treat It -A clear, evidence‑based guide for clinicians and patients. Dizziness is a common complaint among adults, describing sensations such as lightheadedness, disequilibrium, or a feeling of heaviness in the head. According to the Bárány Society, dizziness reflects a disturbed or impaired spatial orientation without a hallucinatory sense of motion. Emerging evidence suggests that cervical spine dysfunction may

The visual and vestibular systems work in tight coordination to keep the world stable as we move through it. When this integrated system is disrupted, whether through peripheral vestibular hypofunction or after a traumatic brain injury (TBI), patients commonly experience dizziness, blurred vision, difficulty reading, visual fatigue, and challenges with balance. Although some rehabilitation programs for these conditions may appear similar on the surface, the underlying mechani

Complaints of dizziness and a feeling of unsteadiness in visually complex environments, such as in grocery stores, during traffic, and among crowds, are frequent in patients suffering from vestibular disorders. One explanation for this is the higher reliance on visual information in these patients for postural orientation. The fear and anxiety associated with these daily life scenarios often lead to avoidance behaviour, which in turn increases the sensitivity to it. It is hig

Neck afferent information is important for coordinated head, neck, and upper-extremity movements , as well as for maintaining body position and spatial orientation. When distorted, it can heavily contribute to altered cervical sensorimotor control, which can heavily affect balance and stability and lead to symptoms of dizziness and unsteadiness  (Peng et al., 2021) . Considering this, evaluation of cervical proprioception may be the missing key to better management of dizzy

Optokinetic stimulation (OKS) is an important tool in this context. OKS consists of exposure to large‑field moving visual stimuli, introducing controlled visual motion that creates a sensory conflict. This conflict forces the brain to reweight sensory information and reveals how effectively visual and vestibular signals are integrated.

The Otoneuro System marks a significant shift in how vestibular care is delivered. It offers clinicians a powerful and intuitive solution that enhances accuracy, structure and confidence at every stage of the rehabilitation journey. From objective assessment to immersive therapeutic intervention, the Otoneuro System represents the future of vestibular rehabilitation.

The Basic Balance System was designed specifically to address these concerns. It offers a practical, affordable, and user-friendly solution for professionals who want to begin offering balance assessments and training.

How to perform mCTSIB and how to interpret the results.

The clinical examination of balance control, although relatively simple and cost‑effective, provides only a subjective assessment of potential deficits. To overcome the limitations in objectivity and reliability inherent to clinical testing, instrumented assessments using force and pressure platforms have been developed. These technologies allow for the precise quantification of postural control, a technique known as posturography. Read the article to discover Posturography b

List of 12 balance assessment protocols with force plate. A brief resume, clinical reports and main applications.

A look at the Fall Risk protocol Falls are one of the greatest causes of serious health problems among older adults, representing more than 50% of the hospitalizations due to lesions in this age group [1]. Falls have a multifactorial origin, which includes mobility problems, balance disorders, chronic illnesses, and impaired vision. Thus, it is important to incorporate fall risk screening in the elder’s health monitoring routine. PhysioSensing Balance Software has a protoco

1. Balance Mechanisms & Vestibular Disorders Balance is the ability to maintain the body’s center of mass over its base of support. Balance is achieved and maintained by a complex set of sensorimotor control systems (Figure 1 – left) that include sensory input from vision (sight), proprioception (touch), and the vestibular system (motion, equilibrium, spatial orientation); integration of that sensory input; and motor output to the eye and body muscles [1]. When any of these s
