Nothing seems more self-evident than a functioning balance. However, the balance between incoming information for spatial orientation and the subsequent reactions of the eyes and muscles can never be uniform (static). The balance must constantly readjust, remain flexible throughout life, and face new challenges. Thus, the often unconsciously perceived balance is the result of a continuously active maintenance and renewal of the interplay between environmental information and its reception and processing in the central nervous system. In contrast, the unexpected loss of balance is experienced as alarming: The balance system can collapse when one or more parts lose their functions. Balance can diminish when many smaller, indeed.
