14, from Squires and colleagues,21 illustrates the fluid mechanics of BPPV. In this disorder, vertigo and nystagmus begin after a characteristic latency of about 5 seconds. The delay in onset of symptoms is caused by movement of detached otoconia through the ampulla, because pressure caused by moving otoconia is negligible until otoconia enter the narrow duct of the SCC. 21 Other results from fluid mechanics have direct bearing on our understanding of treatment maneuvers for BPPV. 2 mm/sec, or only about 1% of the circumference of the canal each second.
Lesions of the anterior-superior vermis of the cerebellum affect the VSR and cause a profound gait ataxia with truncal instability. Patients with such lesions are unable to use sensory input from their lower extremities to stabilize their posture. The lesions are commonly related to excessive alcohol intake and thiamine deficiency. Neural Integrator Thus far we have discussed processing of velocity signals from the canals and acceleration signals from the otoliths. These signals are not suitable for driving the ocular motor neurons, which need a neural signal encoding eye position.
