balance disorder

A balance disorder is a condition that affects a person's ability to maintain their equilibrium and feel stable while standing or moving. It can cause feelings of dizziness, unsteadiness, or a spinning sensation (vertigo). These disorders can arise from various causes, including inner ear issues, neurological disorders, medication side effects, or injuries. People with balance disorders may have trouble walking, standing, or performing daily activities safely. Treatment often involves therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes aimed at improving stability and reducing symptoms.
