Description

The detection system used to detect the vestibular system

The present invention relates to a technique for measuring human body functions, in particular to a detection system applied to the detection of the vestibular system.

The vestibular system provides organs for the human body to perceive the sense of balance and space as the basis for the human body to perceive the three-dimensional world. Therefore, the degree of development of the vestibular system will be relatively reflected in the human body's athletic ability and balance ability.

The vestibular system uses fluid-filled tubes to detect head movement and position changes. The vestibular system includes otolith organs and semicircular canals. The otolith organs can sense the linear acceleration of the human body by the gravity of the earth. The three semicircular canals are perpendicular to each other, representing the X-axis, Y-axis, and The three directions of the Z axis are used to detect the angular acceleration of the head. The vestibular system is in charge of the body's sense of balance and direction sensing. Therefore, when the vestibular system has problems, the patient may experience dizziness, loss of balance, or loss of athletic ability, which has a great impact on the patient.
