Balance Problems

Many balance and vertigo cases are described as involving degeneration, incorrect processing, or insufficient processing capacity rather than classic inner ear disorders. Reduced activity can decrease proprioceptive feedback because movement is needed to stimulate body-position pathways. Brain degeneration is presented as a major contributor to poor balance. Aging is associated with neural degeneration, but the article links decline to factors such as toxicity, degeneration, and inactivity rather than presenting it as unavoidable in an ideal sense.
