==Mechanism== In the vestibular system, there are three [[Semicircular canals|canals]] that are semicircular in shape that input sensory clues.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.audiologicaldiagnostics.com/labyrinthitis|title=Labyrinthitis|website=www.audiologicaldiagnostics.com|access-date=2019-12-02|archive-date=2019-11-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191123203817/http://www.audiologicaldiagnostics.com/labyrinthitis|url-status=dead}}</ref> These canals allow the [[brain]] to sense rotational motion and linear motion changes.<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal|date=2017|title=Germany|journal=International Journal of Health Care Quality Assurance|volume=19|issue=4|doi=10.1108/ijhcqa.2006.06219dab.003|issn=0952-6862}}</ref> The brain then uses the sensory input clues and the visual input clues from the vestibular system to retain balance. The [[vestibulo-ocular reflex]] retains continuous visual focus during motion which is also the vestibular system's purpose during activity.<ref name=":2" />
