How does the inner ear affect a body’s ability to balance?
Can someone explain how the fluids in your inner ears affect balance? I get it’s something to do with the vestibular system and the fluids basically relaying messages to your body to maintain balance. But how do ear fluids necessarily affect a body’s arms, legs, feet, hands, torso, etc? Like why do people with weaker inner ears have trouble riding bicycles or learning to ice skate or roller skate?
