Otolithenfunktion: Vernachlässigtes Element in Praxis und Klinik

  • Chapter
Schwindel

Part of the book series: HNO Praxis heute ((HNO,volume 27))

Auszug

Zur räumlichen Orientierung verfügt der Mensch, ebenso wie alle höheren Tierarten, über vestibuläre Sinnesorgane für die Wahrnehmung der Gravitation und die Transduktion von Rotation und Translation des Kopfes im Raum. Zusammen mit den Augen und den im Körper verteilten Propriozeptoren und Somatosensoren sind diese Organe für den koordinierten Ablauf aller natürlichen Bewegungen essenziell. Jede Kopfbewegung im dreidimensionalen Raum kann in eine Kombination von jeweils 3 Dreh und Linearbewegungskomponenten aufgelöst werden. Dementsprechend sind die Bogengänge und Otolithenorgane im Labyrinth so angeordnet, dass sowohl die 3 rotatorischen als auch die 3 translatorischen Freiheitsgrade vollständig erfasst werden.
