A member asked:
Other than the cerebellum, is there another part of the brain that helps with balance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Balance centers : We balance due to a combination of propioception or special receptors in large joints that tell the cerebellum we are vertical. Also in the brain we have semi circular canal fluid that provides feedback for head position and body position if we are not vertical. The eyes provide additional input regarding ground floor reaction and are useful for foot placement.
