Clinical diagnosis of vestibular disorders. A system approach to dizziness.

During recent decades, vestibular research has emphasized that it is important to consider vestibular reflexes a part of the integrated balance system function. Vestibular diagnosis must be based on a system approach to vestibular dysfunction. The development of new balance system examination methods is based on computerization of the analysis of transfer functions. Using these methods, system dysfunction is more easily understood and a new universe of vestibular diagnosis might develop in the years to come.
