Vestibular 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.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article reviews the literature on vestibular-evoked myogenic potential testing, a short latency electromyogram evoked by high acoustic stimuli and recorded via surface electrodes over the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Applications and refinements of this technique are described for different pathologies and in adults and children. RECENT FINDINGS Various techniques for el...
متن کاملrecording of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials
it has been shown recently that loud clicks evoke myogenic potentials in the tonically contracting sternocleidomastoid muscles. studies have suggested that these potentials are of vestibular origin, especially of the saccule and inferior vestibular nerve. a pilot study was undertaken in our hospital to record vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (vemp) for the first time in iran. eighteen heal...
متن کاملVestibular evoked myogenic potentials evoked by brief interaural head acceleration: properties and possible origin.
The vestibular system responds to head acceleration by producing compensatory reflexes in the eyes and postural muscles. In this study, we investigated the effect of brief interaural acceleration on the vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) in 10 normal subjects and 10 patients with bilateral (bVL) or unilateral vestibular loss (uVL). The stimuli were delivered with a handheld minishaker ...
متن کاملOcular 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 ...
