The range of symptoms and affected body systems in Parkinson’s disease is extensive. One area that is less frequently discussed is the vestibular system—the inner ear structure directly connected to the brain, responsible for balance and spatial orientation. When this system malfunctions, individuals may experience dizziness, balance problems and an increased risk of falls, highlighting its importance in your overall health. With aging, the inner ear naturally becomes less robust. Although current research has not yet identified a definitive cause for the higher incidence of vestibular dysfunction in people with Parkinson's disease, effective interventions are available. In this episode, Christopher Taylor, Occupational Therapist at Mayo Clinic, will provide insights into the diagnosis and treatment options—namely vestibular therapy—that can assist with symptoms such as dizziness, gait disturbances, freezing, and postural instability. This discussion aims to enhance our understanding of the crucial role played by the inner ear and its connections. <a href= "https://vestibular.org/">https://vestibular.org/</a> <a href= "https://www.dbsandme.com/en.html">https://www.dbsandme.com/en.html</a>
