Vestibular lesions may cause imbalance that long outlasts vertigo. Photographic analysis in five cases showed defects not only of the tilting reactions, which are of labyrinthine origin, but also of certain other postural reactions, notably the counterpoising and protective stepping reactions. All of these reflexes are unconscious and consequently such patients are rendered unstable in several ways simultaneously and may have difficulty describing their symptoms.
前庭病变可能导致失衡，这种失衡持续的时间远远超过眩晕。对5例患者的影像分析显示，不仅源于迷路的倾斜反应存在缺陷，某些其他姿势反应也存在缺陷，尤其是平衡和保护性踏步反应。所有这些反射都是无意识的，因此这类患者会同时在多个方面变得不稳定，可能难以描述自己的症状。
