==Overview==
'''Disequilibrium''' refers to an impaired sense or absence of balance or [[equilibrioception]] that primarily occurs during standing or walking usually without any cephalic sensations like headache, nausea and vomiting.  It is one among the causes of [[dizziness]]<ref name="urlChapter 14: Evaluation of the Dizzy Patient">{{cite web |url=http://www.dartmouth.edu/~dons/part_2/chapter_14.html#chpt_14_presyncope |title=Chapter 14: Evaluation of the Dizzy Patient |format= |work= |accessdate=2009-08-06}}</ref>.
