Spatial orientation refers to the ability to understand and navigate one's position in relation to the surrounding environment. It involves recognizing where objects are located and how they relate to one another in space. This skill is essential for activities such as driving, walking, or even playing sports, as it helps individuals make sense of their surroundings. Factors that influence spatial orientation include visual perception, proprioception, and vestibular function. Visual perception allows individuals to see and interpret their environment, while proprioception provides awareness of body position. The vestibular system, located in the inner ear, helps maintain balance and spatial awareness, contributing to effective navigation.
