The value of the damping ratio Î¶ determines the behavior of the system such that Î¶ = 1 corresponds to being critically damped with larger values being overdamped and smaller values being underdamped. If Î¶ = 0, the system is undamped.
A Dr. Darshan N. Shah, MD , Neurology, answered on behalf of NorthShore University HealthSystem. Internists, neurologists, and ENTs (ear nose and throat doctors) all treat vertigo and dizziness. The specific specialist you may see is determined by the cause of your symptoms.
Central vertigo is a more serious problem in the cerebellum (back part of the brain) or brain stem. Your doctor will evaluate your eye to look for abnormal jerking movements (nystagmus). The pattern of your eye movements may help to determine if the problem is peripheral or central.
