Many congenitally deaf infants and children suffer vestibular
failure, which produces problems with their postural control,
locomotion and gait. However it is known that these children can
eventually catch up with their normal balance control status in
terms of development and growth as a result of central vestibular
compensation. In "Vertigo and Balance Disorders in Children" the
author provides comprehensive and integrative information on the
vestibular system. The materials presented range from the history
of its study, basic anatomy and physiology of vestibular organs,
mechanism of balance and motor function development, to clinical
aspects of vestibular disorders including their evaluation and
pediatric neurology. Although there have been books discussing
postural responses of infants and children with vestibular
disorders, this is the first to present the influence of peripheral
vestibular disorders and central vestibular compensation
comprehensively. This book will benefit not only practitioners in
this field such as pediatric otolaryngologists, pediatricians,
child neurologists and neurologists, but also clinical specialists
such as neonatologists, physical therapists and speech therapists,
helping them to better care for patients with vestibular
failure.
