Het vestibulair systeem

Samenvatting

Om te begrijpen waarom mensen last hebben van duizeligheid, bestuderen we de werkingsmechanismen van het vestibulair orgaan, het effect van medicatie op vestibulaire functie en methodes voor klinische testen om accurate diagnoses te kunnen maken en behandelingen te kunnen geven voor duizelige patiënten.
