The Vestibular Apparatus under Water and in Compressed Gas Environments: Abstracts of Translated Studies

Abstract

Twenty-two studies which contribute to understanding the role of the vestibular system under water and high pressure are abstracted in this report. Several aspects of vestibular function are included (e.g. decompression sickness, pressure vertigo, diver navigation, etc.). The studies were originally published in German (in one case Russian), but have been translated into English. Copies of the full translations are available on request from the author of this report.
