PENDULAR ROTATION TEST AS A VESTIBULAR FUNCTION TEST

Vestibular-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...

Aging of vestibular function evaluated using correlational vestibular autorotation test

BACKGROUND Imbalance from degeneration of vestibular end organs is a common problem in the elderly. However, the decline of vestibular function with aging was revealed in few vestibular function tests such as vestibular autorotation test (VAT). In the current VAT, there are drawbacks of poor test-retest reliability, slippage of the sensor at high-speed rotations, and limited data about the effe...

Validity of the Postrotary Nystagmus Test for Measuring Vestibular Function

This study examined the validity of the Postrotary Nystagmus (PRN) test as a measure of vestibular functioning by examining the relations of scores from the PRN test with those from other variables measuring similar functions and through conducting a group comparison study. The PRN test is one of 17 tests included in the Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT). Using SIPT scores from 575 ch...
