Ocular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials
Introduction Diagnostic testing of the vestibular system is an essential component of treating patients with balance dysfunction. Until recently, testing methods primarily evaluated the integrity of the horizontal semicircular canal, which is only a portion of the vestibular system. Recent advances in technology have afforded clinicians the ability to assess otolith function through vestibular ...
متن کاملVestibular evoked myogenic potentials in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune systemic disease. Most common autoimmune diseases are multisystem disorders that may also present with otological manifestations, and autoimmune inner ear disease accompanied by vestibular dysfunction. This study aimed to compare the vestibular function between RA patients and normal subjects using cervical vestibular evoked myogenic...
متن کاملVestibular-evoked myogenic potentials as a test of otolith function.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the use of 75 auditory clicks rather than the usual 100-256 for production of the vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) response and to assess if the VEMP correlates with measures of cochlear function such as hearing loss (decibels on pure-tone testing) or auditory brainstem response (ABR). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Testing of the VEMP was carried out on 24 subjects: 7...
متن کاملCervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in multiple sclerosis participants
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease that affects brain and spinal cord. The infratentorial region contains the cerebellum and brainstem. Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) are short-latency myogenic responses. Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) is a manifestation of vestibulocolic reflex and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic pote...
متن کاملVestibular evoked myogenic potentials: test-retest reliability.
Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) are myogenic responses induced by stimulation of the saccular macula by intense sound stimuli. The responses are recordable from the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscles. We recorded VEMPs from normal subjects (up to three times in each subject) to identify: i) the best recording procedures, ii) the reliability, and iii) the normal limits for both indi...
