Vestibulocochlear System - AnswerInner ear. Made of two systems. Contains otoliths,
semicircular canals, endolymph, hair cells, etc. Helps with head position & motion, and
spatial orientation.
Cochlear - AnswerHearing part of the vestibulocochlear system (inner ear)
Vestibular - AnswerSystem for awareness of head orientation with respect to gravity
and the head's changes in velocity and direction.
Visual system - AnswerServes as a strong motion detector, particularly in balancing
movements. Gives info about a person's own body movements in relation to the
environment.
Somatosensory system - AnswerSensory network that monitors the surface of the body
and its movements. Made up of mechanoreceptors, muscle spindles, golgi tendon
organs,and skin.
Incoordination of movement - AnswerCan be a result of a neurological condition or
aberrant movement pattern due to injury, among other things.

Quiescent - AnswerQuiet standing: Gluteus maximus & abs remain _____.
Active - AnswerQuiet standing: Gluteus medius and TFL are _____ to control lateral
pelvic shift.
