UNLABELLED The vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) is a clinical test that assess the vestibular function by means of an inhibitory vestibulo-neck reflex, recorded in body muscles in response to high intensity acoustic stimuli. AIM To check and analyze the different methods used to record VEMPs in humans and in guinea pigs. MATERIALS AND METHODS We researched the following databases...

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...

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...

Aim:To evaluate vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in patients with multiple sclerosis as method of diagnostic support. Study design: Case-control. Material and Method: We studied a group of normal individuals (n=15) and a Studied group (n=15) that comprised patients with diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Both groups were submitted to vestibular evoked myogenic potential exam. In each ear it ...
