A remarkable number of different flow phenomena contribute critically to the proper
functioning of the hearing and balance senses, both of which are hosted by the inner ear …

In patients with Ménière's disease (MD), caloric testing can show, depending on the stage
and activity of the disease, a variety of results. Between attacks, many, or perhaps even …

Our sense of balance is among the most central of our sensory systems, particularly in the
evolution of human positional behavior. The peripheral vestibular system (PVS) comprises …

Abstract The Head Impulse Test, the most widely accept test to assess the vestibular
function, comprises rotations of the head based on idealized orientations of the semicircular …

In our daily life, small flows in the semicircular canals (SCCs) of the inner ear displace a
sensory structure called the cupula which mediates the transduction of head angular …

Purpose Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal structural

The vestibular system in the inner ear senses angular head manoeuvres by endolymph fluid
which deforms a gelatinous sensory structure (the cupula). We constructed computer models …

The malfunctioning of semicircular canals (SCCs) in the vestibular system results in
diseases that disrupt the individual's daily life. Vestibular diseases can be treated more …

Balance is achieved and maintained by a balance system called a labyrinth that is
composed of three semicircular canals and the otolith organs that sense linear gravity and …
