Clinical Value of Rotational-Chair Testing in Vestibular Disease
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Rotatory chair testing of the horizontal semicircular canals is an important but specialized tool in vestibular examinations. This review summarizes stimulus protocols, basic physiology and the current knowledge. It will be shown that the value of rotatory testing in clinical practice is part of a vestibular test battery in high end vestibular and balance centers but not in a general clinical practice.

Standardization of Rotatory Chair Velocity Step and Sinusoidal Harmonic Acceleration Tests in Adult Population
Objective: To standardize the rotatory chair sinusoidal harmonic acceleration and velocity step tests in adult population. Study Design: Prospective study. Setting: Clinical tertiary care vestibular function test center. Patients: One hundred normal participants (66 male and 34 females without suspected vestibular disorder) evaluated with bithermal binaural caloric and sinusoidal and step-veloc...
متن کاملComparison of manual whole-body and passive and active head-on-body rotational testing with conventional rotary chair testing.
New methods of rotational testing of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) using manually generated or patient-generated sinusoidal head movements have recently been advocated for clinical use in circumstances where conventional rotary chair testing methods are not feasible. However, studies seeking to provide evidence for the validity of these methods by comparing their results with an accepted "g...
متن کاملCaloric Test versus Rotational Chair Test in Patients with Peripheral Vestibulopathy
OBJECTIVE: 1) To correlate caloric results with sinusoidal and step-velocity rotary chair gain, phase, asymmetry and time constant values in all patients; 2) To evaluate sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of both tests in patients with vestibular dizziness. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective case review. SETTING: Academic tertiary care vestibular function...
متن کاملThe influence of a vestibular dysfunction on the motor development of hearing-impaired children.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To identify the predictive ability of vestibular function test results on motor performance among hearing-impaired children. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS Fifty-one typically developing children and 48 children with a unilateral (n = 9) or bilateral hearing impairment (n = 39) of more than 40 dB HL between 3 and 12 years were tested by the Movement Assess...
متن کاملEvidence of vestibular and balance dysfunction in children with profound sensorineural hearing loss using cochlear implants.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Similarities between the peripheral auditory and vestibular systems suggest that children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) may demonstrate vestibular and balance impairments. This hypothesis was studied in 40 children with severe to profound SNHL and unilateral cochlear implants. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cross-sectional study with repeated measures. METHODS Vesti...
