Vestibular 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...
متن کاملReproducibility (test-retest) of vestibular evoked myogenic potential.
INTRODUCTION There is still no consensus in the literature as to the best acoustic stimulus for capturing vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP). Low-frequency tone bursts are generally more effective than high-frequency, but recent studies still use clicks. Reproducibility is an important analytical parameter to observe the reliability of responses. OBJECTIVE To determine the reproducib...
متن کاملThe Effect of Cognitive Tasks on the Ocular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials in Healthy People
Introduction: The majority of the daily life activities involve the concurrent performance of simultaneously challenging motor and cognitive activities, such as talking while walking, which requires the vestibular system for balance. Functional balance allows the brain to interpret and integrate the sensory information from our physical and social environment. This study aimed to investig...
متن کاملOcular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential Using Different Test Stimuli
Aim. Ocular Evoked Myogenic Potential (oVEMP) are short latency potentials evoked by higher acoustic stimulation. In this study, we aimed at comparing the click, 500 Hz mixed modulated, and 500 Hz short duration tone burst stimuli using oVEMP. Material. Click, 500 Hz mixed modulated and 500 Hz short duration tone burst stimuli were used for the study. Method. Conventional sampling and convenein...
متن کاملReliability of the vestibular evoked myogenic potential test in assessing intratympanic gentamicin therapy in Meniere's disease.
CONCLUSIONS The results of this preliminary study demonstrate that with regard to determining the efficacy of intratympanic (IT) gentamicin treatment in patients with Meniere's disease, the reliability of testing for vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) is comparable to that of caloric tests. Compared with caloric tests, VEMP measurements are more comfortable and take less time. The re...
