Vestibular sensory dysfunction: neuroscience and psychosocial behaviour overview

Abstract

<p>The objective of the submitted contribution is to describe one of the sensory dysfunction - the vestibular system. The vestibular system is crucial sensory system for other sensory systems such as tactile and proprioception, as well as having tight connection to the limbic system. Vestibular sensory system has significant role for further physical, emotional and psychosocial development. Descriptive method and case analysis are applied in literature based research methodology. These methods are most appropriate as far the vestibular dysfunctions not always are recognized in young age even though are seen as high psychoemotional reactions (psychosocial behavior). The vestibular dysfunctions in young age can be scarcely noticeable as far more often they tend to look like "just high emotional reactions" as crying, withdrawal, attachment to mother etc. which could be sensed as normal reaction of young child. Detailed vestibular sensory dysfunction analysis is presented, also explanation of the neurological processes, and predictions are made for the further possible interventions.</p>

Dynamic balance improvement in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder after an extracurricular Service-Learning Physical Education program

“…The findings of the present study are also relevant because severe peripheral vestibular dysfunction, such as that presented by many ASD children, may have a significant impact on quality of life (Van Hecke et al, 2019). In this regard, educational development may also be affected by vestibular dysfunction (Van Hecke et al, 2019), and bad postural stabilization may lead to avoidance behavior, lower self-esteem, anxiety (of movement), anger or frustration (Bart et al, 2009;Kreivinienė, 2016). Therefore, the improvement in PC displayed by participating ASD children may be beneficial to overcome all of these issues.…”

Neurydynamic Features of Young People With Different Duration of Vestibular Illusion

“…In addition, some authors have studied the dependence of reaction time on factors of training, gender, age and various effects on the body. There are studies that present certain characteristics of sensor-motor responses in different ages [3,4]. It is also known, that irritation of the vestibular analyzer causes slowing of the speed of movement, impaired coordination and deterioration of visual perception, significantly affects the indicators of attention [5].…”
