the vestibular system is important for the development of normal movement reactions, motion tolerance, and motor control for postural alignment, balance, and vision. a vestibular system that is damaged by disease or injury in childhood can have a major impact on a child's development. in addition, the emergence of vestibular lesions may also lead to cognitive deficits, including attention defic...

The objectives of this study were to identify signs of vestibular nerve suffering through a bedside vestibular examination protocol in case of sudden sensorineural unilateral hearing loss without spontaneous signs of vestibular impairment and to propose a bed-side vestibular examination based protocol for the focused execution of gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) only if a ve...

This study was performed following favorable results from a previous research, which studied the response of acute vestibular patients to the rotatory maneuver, to investigate the effects of the rotatory maneuver on chronic vestibular patients. In an attempt to normalize the patient’s directional preponderance (DP), and hence their vestibular symptoms, the study was designed to reduce the imbal...

INTRODUCTION There is described a transient nystagmus provoked by shaking the head in the horizontal plane for a few seconds in both normal subjects and patients that is called Head Shaking Test (HSN) as a diagnostic tool for vestibular dysfunction. HSN is generally accepted that is generated by an asymmetrical peripheral vestibular input and a central velocity storage mechanism, which integrat...

Introduction Exposure to music is the subject of many studies because it is related to an individual's professional and social activities. Objectives Evaluate the vestibular behavior in military band musicians. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed. Nineteen musicians with ages ranging from 21 to 46 years were evaluated (average = 33.7 years and standard deviation = 7.2 ye...
