Objective: to examine the utility of subjective visual vertical (SVV) measurement in peripheral vestibular diseases. Materials and Methods: 91 patients were evaluated. Among them, 40 subjects were diagnosed with an acute unilateral vestibular loss (AUVL), 30 patients with a benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and 21 with Ménière’s disease (MD). In AUVL, we carried out a baseline (BT) an...

Abstract Background Activities of daily living (ADLs) are activities oriented toward taking care one’s own body independently. Vestibular Disorder Daily Living Scale (VADL) includes 28 questions designed to specifically assess the effects different vestibular disorders on and validity reliability Arabic version VADL applying it severity attacks related most common episodic disorders. The was di...

Meniere's disease, and vestibular neuritis depending on the diseases. However, to date, there has been a limited amount of research conducted on the differences in subjective symptoms, handicap in daily life, and depressiveness of patients with each of these disorders, which cannot be measured by a vestibular function test. In this study, functional, emotional, and physical disorders were compa...

Based on computational models of the hippocampus, it has been suggested that a possible mechanism for memory retrieval is pattern completion, wherein an autoassociative network recalls previous patterns of activity given noisy or degraded cues. However, there are few behavioral data examining pattern completion per se in the hippocampus. Here, we present a study in which rats were tested on a s...

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 potenti...

Introduction Dizziness can be characterized as a balance disorder that causes discomfort, leading to several functional limitations. Currently, vestibular rehabilitation has been highlighted as a possible treatment. Objective Analyze the effects of completing a vestibular rehabilitation treatment protocol on quality of life and postural balance in patients with vestibular complaints, as well as...

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most commonly encountered peripheral vestibular disorder in clinical practice. The prevalence rate of BPPV has been reported to be higher older adults than younger individuals. Although there evidence for effectiveness canalith repositioning procedure (CRP) posterior canal BPPV, success this significantly lower patients as compared with patient...

Introduction: Vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) has recently been broadly studied in vestibular disorders. As it is evoked by loud sound stimulation, even mild conductive hearing loss may affect VEMP results. Bone-conducted (BC) stimulus is an alternative stimulation for evoking this response. This study aims to assess the characteristics of BC-VEMP in different groups of patients.   ...

Introduction Labyrinthectomy and vestibular neurectomy are considered the surgical procedures with the highest possibility of controlling medically untreatable incapacitating vertigo. Ironically, after 100 years of the introduction of both transmastoid labyrinthectomy and vestibular neurectomy, the choice of which procedure to use rests primarily on the evaluation of the hearing and of the surg...
