INTRODUCTION The vestibular evoked myogenic potential is a potential of mean latency that measures the muscle response to auditory stimulation. This potential can be generated from the contraction of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and also from the contraction of extraocular muscles in response to high-intensity sounds. This study presents a combined or simultaneous technique of cervical and oc...

A new test for utricular function has recently been introduced and validated, namely the ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP), which refers to the myogenic potentials recorded by surface EMG electrodes beneath both eyes in response to bone conducted vibration (BCV) of the head or air conducted sound (ACS). The oVEMP test differs from another vestibular-evoked myogenic potential r...

Most vestibular disorders in infants and young children manifest not as vertigo or dizziness, but as balance problems and/or developmental delay of motor milestones. Early identification of such disorders is necessary for early intervention.1 It is important to consider a time-efficient, noninvasive, accurate, and comfortable test battery for vestibular assessment that is appropriate for childr...

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...
