← Human Body & HealthWhich mechanism impairs balance when otolith efficacy decreases?
A)Diminished vestibulocolic reflex function✓
B)Enhanced reciprocal muscle inhibition
C)Increased somatosensory output drive
D)Intensified gaze stabilization stimulus
💡 Explanation
Decreased otolith activity reduces postural stability because it depends on the vestibulocolic reflex modulating neck muscles; therefore maintaining upright alignment is impaired rather than other reflexes properly controlling limb movements.
