One of the recent diagnostic tests to assess the function of otolithic organs is through vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) testing. There are equivocal findings on effect of aging on ocular VEMP (oVEMP) parameters with reference to latencies. Hence this study was taken up to investigate the age related changes in oVEMP parameters. This present study considered 30 participants in each ...

ABSTRACT Purpose To assess the effectiveness of vestibular rehabilitation on functioning, gains in semicircular canals Video Head Impulse Test (v-HIT), responses to evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP), depressive symptoms, balance, and dizziness older adults. Methods Longitudinal, quasi-experimental, analytical study conducted between December 2019 July 2022, 50 adults with disorders, submitted e...

CONCLUSIONS The patients who received electric acoustic stimulation (EAS) cochlear implantation had relatively good vestibular function compared with the patients who did not have residual hearing. The vestibular function was well preserved after atraumatic EAS surgery. The round window approach and soft electrode are preferred to decrease the risk of impairing vestibular function. OBJECTIVES...

Maturational effects were investigated in two age groups (N = 30 per group) of children with normal hearing sensitivity, using rotary chair (RC), computerized dynamic posturography (CDP), and vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) measures. Children recruited within the younger group were three through six years of age, and children within the older group were nine through eleven years of ...

Children with hearing deficits frequently have delayed motor development. The purpose of this study was to evaluate saccular function in children with hearing impairments using the Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP). The impact of the saccular hypofunction on the timely maturation of normal balance strategies was examined using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (Movement ABC...

migraine is a neurologic disease, which often is associated with a unilateral headache. vestibular abnormalities are common in migraine. vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (vemps) assess otolith function in particular functional integrity of the saccule and the inferior vestibular nerve. we used vemp to evaluate if the migraine headache can affect vemp asymmetry parameters. a total of 25 pat...

BACKGROUND Determining the nerve of origin for vestibular schwannoma (VS), as a method for predicting hearing prognosis, has not been systematically considered. The vestibular test can be used to investigate the function of the superior vestibular nerve (SVN) and the inferior vestibular nerve (IVN). This study aimed to preoperatively distinguish the nerve of origin for VS patients using the ves...

  Background :Aging can cause loss of balance, which may lead to physical and psychological problems. As the role of the otolith organs in maintaining postural stability has been emphasized in recent years, the present study investigated the effect of aging on saccular function using cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP).   Methods : The participants were assigned into two grou...
