Assessing Effects of Eye Position on Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential
Introduction: Vestibular evoked myogenic potential is useful test for assessing function of saccule and inferior vestibular nerve. Vestibular evoked myogenic potential Amplitude is proportional to the level of background Electomyography.

B81 Bone Vibrator-Induced Vestibular-Evoked Myogenic Potentials: Normal Values and the Effect of Age
ObjectiveTo define the normal values and examine the influence of aging on B81 bone vibrator-induced cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (B81-cVEMPs) and ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (B81-oVEMPs).MethodsSeventy healthy subjects,

Electrical vestibular stimulation in humans. A narrative review [PDF]
Background: In patients with bilateral vestibulopathy, the regular treatment options, such as medication, surgery, and/ or vestibular rehabilitation, do not always suffice. Therefore, the focus in this field of vestibular research shifted to electri-

Otolithic Receptor Mechanisms for Vestibular-Evoked Myogenic Potentials: A Review
Air-conducted sound and bone-conduced vibration activate otolithic receptors and afferent neurons in both the utricular and saccular maculae, and trigger small electromyographic (EMG) responses [called vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs)] in ...

Tullio phenomenon in superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD) [PDF]
A 68-year-old woman presented with worsening sound-induced vertigo (Tullio phenomenon) and left-sided hearing loss. Weber's test lateralised to the affected ear and audiography confirmed mild conductive hearing loss.

Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials: an overview [PDF]
The vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) test is a relatively new diagnostic tool that is in the process of being investigated in patients with specific vestibular disorders. Briefly, the VEMP is a biphasic response elicited by loud clicks or tone bursts recorded from the tonically contracted sternocleidomastoid muscle, being the only resource ...

Body sway responses to pseudorandom support surface translations of vestibular loss subjects resemble those of vestibular able subjects [PDF]
Body sway responses evoked by a horizontal acceleration of a level and firm support surface are particular in that the vestibular information on body-space angle BS resembles the proprioceptive information on body-foot angle BF. We compared corresponding eyes-closed responses of vestibular-able (VA) and vestibular-loss (VL) subjects, postulating a ...

Time-frequency analysis of event-related brain recordings: Connecting power of evoked potential and inter-trial coherence [PDF]
Objective. In neuroscience, time-frequency analysis has been used to get insight into brain rhythms from brain recordings. In event-related protocols, one applies it to investigate how the brain responds to a stimulation repeated over many trials. In this framework, three measures have been considered: the amplitude of the transform for each single ...

Vestibular assessment in occupational noise-induced hearing loss
Background Occupational noise can cause hearing loss and also may affect the vestibular system and result in vestibular dysfunction. Aim To study the effect of noise exposure on the cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) and ocular ...

Unilateral enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome and bilateral endolymphatic hydrops [PDF]
Enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) syndrome is a common congenital inner ear malformation characterized by a vestibular aqueduct with a diameter larger than 1.5 mm, mixed or sensorineural hearing loss that ranges from mild to profound, and vestibular ...
