Líkamsstöðugleiki, a term originating from Icelandic, refers to the body's ability to maintain balance and stability. This complex process involves the coordinated action of multiple physiological systems, including the vestibular system in the inner ear, the proprioceptive system within muscles and joints, and the visual system. When these systems work in harmony, they provide the brain with continuous information about the body's position and movement in space, allowing for efficient adjustments to maintain upright posture and prevent falls.
The vestibular system is crucial for detecting head movements and orientation relative to gravity. Proprioception, often
Impairments in any of these systems can lead to difficulties with líkamsstöðugleiki, resulting in symptoms such
