Introduction
Postural control is derived from the co-ordination between the visual, vestibular and somatosensory systems. These 3 systems have very close neurophysiological interactions. If they are not coordinated there may be changes in the bodies postural control system. Problems such as headaches, dizziness, blurry vision, frontal headaches, eye strain and balance problems can occur as a result of this. In this course, you will learn about the 3 postural control systems and how they work together to provide static and dynamic balance.
