Riding a motorcycle offers unparalleled freedom and the opportunity to explore open country in an unprecedented way. Many motorcycle riders get out into the road as enthusiasts and hobbyists, and they do so every other weekend as a means of seeing the world in a different light. They choose interstate highways and are comfortable riding around and past large trailers, SUVs and other imposing vehicles because they assume that the driver of these vehicles follows all the needed traffic rules like other individuals so that they can remain safe and others can as well. However, this isn’t always what happens as evidenced by the thousands of accidents reported all over the country each year, with the common culprits being drunk or distracted driving, aggressive driving as well as underage driving. Motorcycle riders are at a particular disadvantage due to the fact that they have little protection should they be involved in an accident or collision, and knee and shoulder pads as well as helmets can only do so much, particularly if the accident was a high impact one resulting in ejection or spontaneous combustion of vehicles involved and so on.

Vestibular disorders refer to a collection of conditions that affect the inner ear structures which are responsible for balance and orientation. These disorders can be distressing as they have the potential to cause acute vertigo or dizziness after a motorcycle accident, and its treatment can be a hit and miss affair, with associated complications such as tinnitus being thought of as a semi-permanent complication. If you are a motorcycle rider and were involved in an auto accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to recover compensation as long as you can prove that your accident was caused by the other driver’s negligence. However, in order to protect your right to file a lawsuit, it is important not to speak with the insurance company and instead reach out to a best motorcycle injury law firm so we can assess the extent of your injuries and put together a compelling complaint so you can be appropriately compensated.

How Do Vestibular Disorders Affect One’s Daily Activities?

Vestibular disorders are often seen in the aftermath of brain injuries and are usually caused by impacts to the head during an accident. The vestibular system is responsible for balance and spatial awareness, and if it is compromised, even simple tasks such as walking, engaging in social activities, driving one’s vehicles, showering and exercising can become next to impossible. Dizziness and disorientation due to vestibular disorders can elicit feelings of anxiety and even depression, causing one to isolate themselves from the world due to a fear of falling.

The most common symptoms associated with vestibular disorders include:

1. Dizziness
2. Vertigo
3. Nausea
4. Imbalance

Any form of blunt force trauma to the head may lead to this condition, due to a disruption or even damage to the sensitive and delicate inner ear structures. In addition, concussion and whiplash injuries can all cause long-lasting vestibular complications. These disorders have far-reaching consequences for the affected individual, where they may find it difficult to sleep soundly, due to the constant dizziness and ear ringing. In addition, they may find that their productivity takes a dip as a result of challenges associated with coordination and focus, which may seep into their work or school activities, leading to feelings of stagnation and frustration.

Diagnosing and Treating Vestibular Disorders After a Motorcycle Accident

It can be challenging to diagnose vestibular disorders due to lack of awareness when it comes to the condition, with many healthcare providers diagnosing it as migraines, anxiety or other neurological issues. In addition, in order for proper diagnosis to be carried out, there needs to be a battery of tests performed such as videonystagmography or VNG where eye movements are measured, rotational chair testing to check how well the vestibular system responds to motion, and posturography which is a test that assesses stability and balance under certain conditions. Treatment for vestibular disorders usually includes vestibular rehabilitation therapy or VRT which is a collection of customized exercises and balance training done to enhance stability, balance and coordination. In some cases, medication may be prescribed such as antihistamines to manage the nausea associated with the condition, as well as anti-anxiety medications to help with the resultant anxiety.
