Differentiate blunt and blast trauma. Have not examined full range of vestibular functions that depend on cerebral structures above midbrain. Relevance – Vestibular symptoms are persistent and problematic sequelae of blast exposure. – Evidence suggests that these symptoms often stem from injury to central nervous system (CNS).

Sensorintegrative dysfunction underlying vestibular disorders after traumatic brain injury: A review. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(7):985–94. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2011.12.0250 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.12.0250JSP Results Damage to central vestibular circuits can lead to deficits in vital processes of spatial perception and navigation, dizziness, and disequilibrium. May also affect emotional functioning, particularly noradrenergically modulated states of anxiety. Perceptual functions can be assessed to determine CNS involvement in vestibular symptoms and provide greater confidence when excluding vestibular dysfunction.
