      Les troubles de l’équilibre, d’origine moteurs ou sensoriels, susceptibles d’affecter tous les âges de la vie, sont un défi de santé publique par leur fréquence et leur gravité. Cet ouvrage est spécifiquement centré sur les aspects sensoriels de ces troubles. Qu’il s’agisse de troubles vestibulaires, proprioceptifs ou visuels, chaque chapitre, rédigé par des spécialistes, praticiens et chercheurs des différentes disciplines concernées, traite des concepts physiopathologiques, cliniques et thérapeutiques de ceux-ci. L’objectif est de donner aux praticiens toutes les clés pour mieux dépister et prendre en charge ces troubles. Une bonne connaissance des déficits sensoriels, souvent intriqués, est nécessaire à leur compréhension et évaluation, à la prévention des chutes et à l’indication d’une rééducation. Cet ouvrage s’adresse à tous les professionnels confrontés à cette question : médecins spécialistes ou en cours de spécialisation en médecine physique et de réadaptation, ORL, neurologie, ophtalmologie et gériatrie, ainsi que les kinésithérapeutes, psychomotriciens, podologues et ingénieurs, en exercice ou en formation, amenés à participer aux soins de ces patients.
