The Role of the Vestibular Apparatus under Water and High Pressure

Abstract

The report briefly reviews literature relation to vestibular functions in underwater medicine, and introduces a more complete reference list, 'A Bibliography of the Role of the Vestibular Apparatus Under Water and Pressure: Content-Oriented and Annotated.' The author states that the role of the vestibular system in compressed air work is presently underestimated. This review and the broader bibliography call attention to the incidence of vestibular involvement in compressed air work and provides reference to the background material essential for understanding and future study of vestibular problems.
