Rotational Tests of Vestibular Function

Seminars in Hearing, 2009
Rotational 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.

Monothermal Caloric Testing in the Screening of Vestibular Function

Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 2010
The 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

Labyrinthine Vestibular Function and Testing Methods

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1960
Certain segments of the internal ear, the vestibular apparatus, are concerned solely with the function of equilibrium, certain portions with hearing, and at least one section may have a dual role. As a continuous fluid mechanism, individual anatomic divisions and individual functions cannot always be isolated.

Site of lesion vestibular function testing.

The Laryngoscope, 1985
AbstractThe results of conventional electronystagmography (ENG) sometimes are confusing. The Hallpike alternate binaural bithermal (ABB) caloric test is helpful diagnostically except for the group of “sick patients that have a normal test.” Conventional ENG tests also fall short in the area of objective confirmation of patient progress.What does each ...

Functional Testing of the Vestibular Nerve

1981
There are very many persons in this world who, at some moment or the other, are troubled by some sensation of instability, or movement or incertainty. The intensity of this sensation is no indicator for the seriousness of its cause, neither is the exactitude of its description by the patient.

Relevance of function tests in the diagnosis of vestibular disorders

Clinical Otolaryngology, 1994
The 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.

Vestibular function tests battery: a proposal for standardization

Images of the Twenty-First Century. Proceedings of the Annual International Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2003
Several well-known clinical vestibular function test batteries are compared. Procedural differences among five groups in performing elements of the vestibular function test battery are identified. A standard vestibular function test battery is proposed, consisting of the following tests performed in the given order: (1) calibration test, (2 ...

Principles and Practice of Tests of Vestibular Function

British Journal of Audiology, 1970
Modem vestibular tests are based upon the concept that the system is organised in two halves, left and right, with functions that are distinct and complementary. Anatomically each half is provided with a set of peripheral sense organs, a group of nuclei within the brain stem, certain higher connections within the cerebrum and also the cerebellum.

Vestibular function testing: Where are we in 1983?

The Laryngoscope, 1983
AbstractConceptual, technological, electronic and computer revolutions have transformed the methodology for evaluating the patient with dysequilibrium. What has been said and written for the past 25 years is not currently applicable.Present day, cost effective, clinical evaluation format is presented, including changes and deletions in the conventional

The interpretation of clinical tests of peripheral vestibular function

The Laryngoscope, 2012
AbstractRecently, new clinical tests of canal and otolith function have been introduced. They rest on sound anatomical and physiological evidence; however, the interpretation of the results of these tests has only recently been clarified. This review summarizes the anatomical and physiological evidence underpinning the tests of both canal and otolith ...
