✅ What You’ll Learn in This Video:

🔬 What Controls Balance?

Your balance depends on three critical systems that work together:
1. Somatosensory System – This system processes information from your muscles, joints, and skin. It helps you sense where your body is in space, especially when standing or moving. For example, feeling pressure through your feet lets you know how you’re positioned.
2. Vestibular System – Located in your inner ear, this system helps detect motion and head position. It plays a key role when your head is moving, turning, or changing positions.
3. Visual System – Your eyes give you important information about your environment, helping you maintain posture and adjust to movement. Poor vision can significantly impact balance.
