The Vestibular System in Spanish
Description
In today’s lesson, we discuss the vestibular system in Spanish. This is the second free lesson introducing the Vertigo Module of our Spanish for Physical Therapy Course.
The first free lesson in this series introduces Spanish for the evaluation of vertigo. In our member lessons the physical therapist obtains a complete history regarding the patient's vertigo. She asks about the situations in which the vertigo occurs, the duration, associated symptoms, potential provocative factors and the patient's medications.
In this second free lesson introducing Spanish for the treatment of positional vertigo, the physical therapist explains that she thinks the patient's vertigo is caused by a problem in her vestibular system.

After performing the oculomotor examination to rule out central lesions, the physical therapist explains that she thinks the patient’s dizziness comes from a problem in the vestibular system.
T: OK, parece que los mareos que está experimentando son por causa de un problema en su sistema vestibular.
P: ¿Qué es eso?
T: El sistema vestibular se encuentra en el oído interno detrás del tímpano. El sistema vestibular le indica la posición de su cabeza. Voy a hacer algunas pruebas en las cuales voy a poner su cabeza en diferentes posiciones para comprobar lo que le está pasando.
P: Me suena bien. Me gustaría saber lo que me está causando los mareos.
