The video head impulse test: diagnostic accuracy in peripheral vestibulopathy.

4 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: The head impulse test (HIT) is a useful bedside test to identify peripheral vestibular deficits. However, such a deficit of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) may not be diagnosed because corrective saccades cannot always be detected by ... Read more...

Caloric test versus rotational sinusoidal harmonic acceleration and step-velocity tests in patients with and without suspected peripheral vestibulopathy.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To identify the predictive capabilities of caloric and rotational testing to distinguish peripheral from nonperipheral vestibular causes of vertigo. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective case review. SETTING: Academic tertiary care vestibular ... Read more...

Feasibility of the simultaneous ocular and cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials in unilateral vestibular hypofunction.

12 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: This study compared the results of combined and individual ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP) and cervical VEMP (cVEMP) tests in healthy subjects and patients with unilateral vestibular hypofunction to confirm the ... Read more...
