Impairment of Vestibular Function and Balance Control in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Audiology and Neurotology, 2019Background: Recent evidence suggests that falls are a major complication of diabetes in elderly patients, leading to disability and preventable death.

A NEW ALCOHOL-CALORIC TEST FOR VESTIBULAR FUNCTION
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1956While many adequate tests for vestibular, or labyrinthine, function have been described in the literature, 1 we have found the following procedure to be the most satisfactory for our use under most circumstances. Because of its simplicity we feel it worth while reporting for the benefit of those who feel the need for a quick and reliable qualitative ...

Aqueductal stenosis—results of vestibular function tests
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1985A case of aqueductal stenosis is reported. The patient was a 14-year-old Japanese girl who was suffering from bilateral tinnitus and unsteadiness of gait. A series of neuro-otological tests revealed prolonged acoustically evoked brain stem response (ABR) latency, disturbed standing reflex, inhibited optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) and ataxic eye tracking ...

Testing the central vestibular functions: a clinical survey
Clinical Otolaryngology and Allied Sciences, 2000In vestibular examinations anomalies in the saccade and smooth pursuit tests as well as the fixation suppression after caloric stimulation might indicate central lesions in the vestibular system. Additionally, a high gain in the torsion test is suspicious of cerebellar dysfunction.

Assessment of vestibular function in elderly patients
Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, 2018Purpose of review Individuals over the age of 60 are at an increased risk of falls, even if they do not have an isolated dysfunction of the vestibular system. The aim of this article is to review the various vestibular testing currently available and its

Monothermal Caloric Testing in the Screening of Vestibular Function
Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 2010The alternate binaural bithermal caloric test (ABBT) is the standard test for evaluation of the dizzy patient. Monothermal caloric testing (MT) has the potential benefits of reducing the administration time and patient discomfort. The goal of the present study was to investigate the role of MT screening in the prediction of ABBT results.ABBT results of

Rotational Tests of Vestibular Function
Seminars in Hearing, 2009Rotational tests are aimed at producing a more natural, precise, repeatable, and broadband evaluation of the vestibular function. Currently, two types of rotation tests are in clinical use: passive whole-body rotation where the stimulus is produced by a motorized chair, and active rotation where the stimulus is produced by voluntary head movements.

New tests of vestibular function.
Bailliere's clinical neurology, 1995Three new, simple, clinically applicable tests of vestibular function are described. The first is a test of the response of the lateral semicircular canals to high accelerations. The test can even be done at the bedside where it can reveal severe unilateral or bilateral loss of lateral canal function. The test can also be recorded in a laboratory where

[Today's tests of vestibular function].
Revue medicale suisse, 2008New tests of the vestibular function have been developed. They should help to explain some clinical situations. The paper describes 3 tests today used routinely in most centers, with a special emphasis on the sign of Halmagyi, or head impulse test.

Relevance of function tests in the diagnosis of vestibular disorders
Clinical Otolaryngology, 1994The diagnostic value or relevance of a vestibular function test is dependent on the whole clinical and functional context of each particular case. It is not the ability to show 'abnormality' in a high number of patients complaining of whatever kind of vertigo, that indicates the relevance of a function test.
