• The relative effectiveness of different stimulus waveforms in evoking VEMPs: Significance of stimulus energy and frequency

  
  COMD News — Authority: 450
  We compared the effectiveness of a series of different sound stimulus waveforms in evoking VEMPs in normal volunteers. The waveforms were clicks (0.1–0.8 ms), biphasic clicks (0.8 ms) and sine waves (1250 Hz, 0.8 ms and 500 Hz, 2 ms) with different peak intensity and duration but similar root mean square area. VEMP ...

• Increased vestibular contribution to posture control in individuals with chronic headache

  
  COMD News — Authority: 450
  Conclusions: People with chronic headache exhibit increased postural sway, which may reflect the re-weighting of sensory information with an increased vestibular and a reduced visual contribution to postural control. Significance: These results support existing research on vestibular abnormalities in chronic ...

• Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex and Balance Maturation in Healthy Children Aged from Six to Twelve Years

  
  COMD News — Authority: 450
  Objectives: Because both the vestibulo-ocular and vestibulospinal pathways depend on neurological maturation during childhood, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the vestibulo-ocular reflexes (VOR) and balance parameters of children aged from 6 to 12 years. Methods: 147 healthy children were included in the ...

• Anatomical and Physiological Considerations in Vestibular Dysfunction and Compensation

  
  COMD News — Authority: 450
  Sensory information from the vestibular, visual, and somatosensory/proprioceptive systems are integrated in the brain in complex ways to produce a final motor output to muscle groups for maintaining gaze, head and body posture, and controlling static and dynamic balance. The balance system is complex, which can make ...

• Rotational Tests of Vestibular Function

  
  COMD News — Authority: 450
  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 ...

• Vestibular-Evoked Myogenic Potentials

  
  COMD News — Authority: 450
  Cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs) are recorded from the sternocleidomastoid muscle using air conduction or bone conduction acoustic stimuli, skull taps, or transmastoid current. The diagnostic usefulness of the cVEMP has been examined for various peripheral and central vestibulopathies. Recent ...
