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.

A NEW ALCOHOL-CALORIC TEST FOR VESTIBULAR FUNCTION

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1956
While 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 ...

Contemporary vestibular function testing: Accomplishments and future perspectives

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1995
The development of a standard test battery for the evaluation of vestibular function required a variety of preliminary investigations about the technical and physiologic foundations of the tests. The most important technologic development was the creation of computerized methods, including hardware and software capabilities.

Testing the central vestibular functions: a clinical survey

Clinical Otolaryngology and Allied Sciences, 2000
In 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.

New tests of vestibular function.

Bailliere's clinical neurology, 1995
Three 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, 2008
New 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.

Assessing vestibular function: which tests, when?

Journal of Neurology, 2000
Vertigo and dizziness are common complaints encountered in clinical practice. The patient's history and a thorough otoneurological evaluation are essential for identifying the specific pathology behind the patient's complaints. If the patient reports an illusion of movement (vertigo), this most likely indicates an imbalance within the vestibular system.

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 ...
