| | Balance disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The balance system works with the visual and skeletal systems (the muscles and joints and their sensors) to maintain orientation or balance. | | | Infections (viral or bacterial), head injury, disorders of blood circulation affecting the inner ear or brain, certain medications, and aging may change our balance system and result in a balance problem. | | | This form of therapy is thought to promote compensation for the disorder. |

| | The outcome was clear; the physical treatment improved the balance performance and at the same time reduced the anxieties reported by the child or the parent. | | | Among clinical implications we consider the physical balance training as an alternative to the present practice of pharmacological and psychological approach, at least in some patients. | | | We hope to demonstrate that such training will improve the balance skills and consequently delay the development of the anxiety symptoms in the vestibular mutants and ameliorate anxiety in the more anxious mice strain. |
