Historically, one of the great physicians was André-Thomas, a pediatric neurologist who described how to observe postural response including labyrinthine righting reflexes. In otology and neurotology, there is increasing opportunity to see congenitally deaf infants with cochlear implants complicating vestibular loss. In deaf infants and children with loss of semicircular canal function, central vestibular compensation during their development and growth can accelerate balance function and locomotion.
