Disequilibrium is the sensation of being off balance, and is most often characterized by frequent falls in a specific direction. This condition is not often associated with nausea or vomiting.

Unlike [[dizziness]], [[vertigo]] has a rotational, spinning component, and is the perception of movement, either of the self or surrounding objects. [[Disequilibrium]] simply means unsteadiness, imbalance, or loss of equilibrium that is often accompanied by spatial disorientation.
