Physical Therapy Outcomes for Persons With Bilateral Vestibular Loss

The Laryngoscope, 2001
AbstractObjective The purpose of the study was to assess the efficacy of physical therapy for patients with bilateral vestibular loss.Study Design Retrospective case series.Methods Twenty‐four patients with a diagnosis of bilateral vestibular loss were identified by a retrospective chart review. Thirteen of the 24 patients met the inclusion criteria of

Effects of bilateral vestibular loss on podokinetic after-rotation

Experimental Brain Research, 2004
We asked what the role of the vestibular system is in adaptive control of locomotor trajectory in response to walking on a rotating disc. Subjects with bilateral vestibular loss (BVL) were compared to age- and gender-matched controls (CTRL). Subjects walked in place on the surface of a rotating disc for 15 min and then attempted to step in place ...

Vestibular Function in Bilateral Progressive Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1995
To investigate the vestibular function in patients with bilateral progressive sensorineural hearing loss, we examined 5 cases using electronystagmography. Cases 1, 2 and 3 were adult type, and Cases 4 and 5 juvenile type. All patients had dizzy spells in the early stage of the disease, and showed spontaneous nystagmus.

Bilateral Vestibular Loss, Oscillopsia, and the Cervico‐Ocular Reflex

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1985
Oscillopsia during head movement occurs in patients with bilateral vestibular loss and may be transient or persistent. To investigate mechanisms underlying recovery we tested the vestibulo‐ocular reflex (VOR), visual‐vestibular interaction, and the cervico‐ocular reflex (COR); we used a pseudorandom oscillatory stimulus with a frequency band width of 0

Efficacy of electrotactile vestibular substitution in patients with bilateral vestibular and central balance loss

2006 International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2006
Patients with bilateral vestibular loss (BVL) of both central and peripheral origin experience multiple problems with balance and posture control, movement, and abnormal gait.Wicab, Inc. has developed the BrainPort balance device to transmit head position/orientation information normally provided by the vestibular system to the brain through a ...

Bilateral vision loss as first presentation of vestibular schwannoma

Himalayan Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023
Abstract Vestibular schwannoma is a benign, slow-growing tumor of the vestibular nerve, located at cerebellopontine angle. It is derived from the Schwann cells of the myelin sheath of cranial nerve eight. We present here a unique case of vestibular schwannoma, who visited us with a primary complaint of bilateral decreased vision.

Vestibular implants: Hope for improving the quality of life of patients with bilateral vestibular loss

2015 37th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2015
The vestibular system plays an essential role in crucial tasks such as postural control, gaze stabilization, and spatial orientation. Currently, there is no effective treatment for a bilateral loss of the vestibular function (BVL). The quality of life of affected patients is significantly impaired.

Bilateral vestibular loss and oscillopsia.

The Journal of otolaryngology, 1989
The electronystagmographic (ENG) records of 5,499 patients were reviewed so as to note the level of caloric activity. Bilateral caloric reduction or loss was found in only 1.6%. Although no diagnosis could be made with a high degree of confidence in the majority of patients, bilateral Ménière's disease and exposure to ototoxic drugs were identified ...

Bilateral loss of vestibular function: clinical findings in 53 patients

Journal of Neurology, 1998
The clinical presentations and aetiologies of a series of 53 cases of bilateral vestibular failure (BVF) seen by the authors over a decade were evaluated by retrospective review of the medical records. Thirty-nine per cent of patients had associated neurological disease; 13% had a progressive cerebellar syndrome with disabling gait ataxia, abnormal eye

Recovery of Bilateral Vestibular Loss in Cogan’s Syndrome—A Case Report

Otology & Neurotology, 2013
To show that both hearing and vestibular loss can be reversible and quantified in Cogan's syndrome.Immunosuppressive medication was continued for more than 6 years in a young woman with Cogan's syndrome. Standard pure tone audiometry (PTA) and speech discrimination score (SDS) for hearing, motorized head impulse test (MHIT) for horizontal, angular ...
