    AbstractA critical review of neurophysiological literature is given about the part played by the neck proprioceptors in the regulation of vestibular functions. In comparison with vestibular and optokinetic influences the neck proprioceptors are of secondary importance. A critical review of the publications by the supporters of a cervical genesis of vertigo leads to the conclusion that "cervical nystagmus" must be proven before the concept of neck-triggered vertigo can be accepted. In relation to all forms of vertigo, vertigo induced by cervical disorder represents a very low percentage only.
