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...

The n10 component of the ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP) is distinct from the R1 component of the blink reflex.

22 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: Bone-conducted vibration (BCV) in the midline at the hairline (Fz), results in short latency potentials recorded by surface electrodes beneath the eyes - the ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP). The early negative ... Read more...
