Diagnosing Vestibular Hypofunction: An Update [PDF]
AbstractUnilateral or bilateral vestibular hypofunction presents most commonly with symptoms of dizziness or postural imbalance and affects a large population. However, it is often missed because no quantitative testing of vestibular function is performed, or misdiagnosed due to a lack of standardization of vestibular testing.

Bilateral Vestibular Hypofunction in a Tertiary Dizziness Center: Occurrence and Etiology. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The primary goal of this study was to determine the occurrence of bilateral vestibular hypofunction in a specialized dizziness clinic and to assess the etiology in patients diagnosed with bilateral vestibular hypofunction. Secondary goal was to find out if the diagnosis was already made before the patient was seen at our clinic. METHODS: A

Bilateral vestibular hypofunction in children [PDF]
Vestibular hypofunction in children can lead to frequent falls and delayed motor development. Especially children with bilateral vestibular hypofunction (BVH) are most at risk for developing symptoms. These children might benefit from future therapies, like vestibular implants, to restore their vestibular system.

Vestibular evoked myogenic potential in unilateral vestibular hypofunction
The patients with unilateral chronic vestibular hypofunction detected by caloric test demonstrated at least some sort of altered vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) in 63.63% of the cases. The VEMP altered side was the same as the unilateral vestibular hypofunction side in 54.54% of the cases and was the opposite side in 24.24%.

Vestibular Hypofunction in Patients with Presbycusis: A Cross-Sectional Study. [PDF]
Background: Vestibular Hypofunction (VH) and hearing loss can affect quality of life and lead to disability, especially in the elderly. Studies investigating presbycusis and vestibular function in the aging population have been conducted separately, but few have examined the combination of both conditions in older patients, with inconsistent results ...

Vestibulo-ocular Physiology Underlying Vestibular Hypofunction [PDF]
AbstractThe vestibular system detects motion of the head and maintains stability of images on the fovea of the retina as well as postural control during head motion. Signals representing angular and translational motion of the head as well as the tilt of the head relative to gravity are transduced by the vestibular end organs in the inner ear.
