Abstract

Osjet ravnoteže u sisavaca reguliran je vestibularnim sustavom u kojem se nalaze polukružni kanali ispunjeni tekućinom. Iako je potpun mehanizam održavanja ravnoteže nepotpuno objašnjen, jasno je da se temelji na fizikalnim načelima. Bolje razumijevanje vestibularnog sustava nužno je kako bi se pomoglo osobama s poremećajima u ravnoteži. U tu svrhu će se u diplomskom radu opisati fizikalno načelo vestibularnog sustava i izraditi uređaj za videonistagmografiju, što je serija testova koje se provode u medicini i s kojima se procjenjuje funkcionalnost sustava za ravnotežu. Uz izradu uređaja i programskog rješenja, napravit će se detaljna dokumentacija svih testova, te mogućih medicinskih simptoma poremećaja ravnoteže i ishoda koje bi pružilo testiranje uređajem.

Abstract (english)

The sense of balance in mammals is regulated by the vestibular system which contains semi-circular canals filled with liquid. Although the entire mechanism of regulating balance is not yet completely explained, it is obviously based on physical principles. A better understanding of the vestibular system is necessary to help people with balance disorders. In this master thesis, we will describe the physical principle behind the vestibular system and build a videonystagmography device, which is used in medicine to evaluate the functionality of a patient’s balance system. Along with the device and programming solution, we will further document all of the tests, symptoms and illnesses connected to the system of balance.
