Abstract(s)
Evaluation of balance complaints in vestibular patients is done with nystagmus measuring tools like videonystagmography (VNG) and functional Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP). More recently, evoked potentials, like Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMPs), are a promising technique, and allow some topo-diagnostics in differentiating lesions from the saccule and utricle and respective afferences, as shown by cervical Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (cVEMPs) and ocular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (oVEMPs). Now patients with vertigo complaints can undergo a video Head Impulse Test (vHIT), a new clinical test of dynamic semicircular canal (SCC) function that uses a high-speed digital video camera to record head and eye movement during and immediately after passive head rotations (while performing the Halmagyi test). Similarly, the angular vestibulo-ocular reflex (aVOR) is a teaching, training, and test tool for the vestibulo-ocular reflex.
