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 ...

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 ...

Bilateral cochlear implantation or bimodal listening in the paediatric population : retrospective analysis of decisive criteria [PDF]
Introduction: In children with bilateral severe to profound hearing loss, bilateral hearing can be achieved by either bimodal stimulation (CIHA) or bilateral cochlear implantation (BICI).

Deconvolution of the vestibular evoked myogenic potential using the power spectrum of the electromyogram [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) can be modelled reasonably well by convolving two functions: one representing an average motor unit action potential (MUAP), the other representing the temporal modulation of the MUAP rate (rate

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-

Stimulation from Cochlear Implant Electrodes Assists with Recovery from Asymmetric Perceptual Tilt: Evidence from the Subjective Visual Vertical Test [PDF]
Vestibular end organ impairment is highly prevalent in children who have sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) rehabilitated with cochlear implants (CIs). As a result, spatial perception is likely to be impacted in this population.

Cervical Vestibular Evoked Myogenic potentials in Vestibular Neuritis
Background and Aim: Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials [VEMP] are electromyographic responses to acoustic stimuli to assess the otolith function and integrity of inferior vestibular nerve. It is an easy test to perform and non-invasive. This study was designed to study and compare AC and BC cVEMPs in patients with vestibular neuritis.

Association between hearing loss and vestibular disorders : a review of the interference of hearing in the balance [PDF]
Dizziness is very prevalent and makes a great impact on people’s life. Because of anatomical and functional similarities of hearing and vestibular systems, it is noted that there is a big relation between hearing loss and vestibular disorders.

Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials.
Intense clicks evoke short-latency myogenic potentials on the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle ipsilaterally. These potentials are named"vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP)" because they are lost after vestibular deafferentation, but independent of the cochlear function. To induce VEMP, the subjects need to contract their SCM muscle during the

A pilot study to investigate the effects of test position and stimulus type on vestibular evoked myogenic potentials [PDF]
Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) are a non-invasive test of otolith function and a portion of the descending vestibulo-spinal system. Three subjects with normal function of the vestibular system underwent VEMP testing with 500 Hz tone ...
