• Differentiating Malingering Balance Disorder Patients from Healthy Controls, Compensated Unilateral Vestibular Loss, and Whiplash Patients Using Stance and Gait Posturography

  
  COMD News — Authority: 157
  Differentiating balance disorder patients who are malingering from those with organic balance disorders is difficult and costly. We used trunk sway measured during several stance and gait tasks in 18 patients suspected of malingering in order to differentiate these from 20 patients who had suffered unilateral ...

• Balance dysfunction resulting from acute inner ear energy failure is caused primarily by vestibular hair cell damage

  
  COMD News — Authority: 157
  Inner ear energy failure is associated with disorders such as inner ear ischemia. Recently, we used the mitochondrial toxin 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP) to establish an animal model of inner ear energy failure that presents with auditory dysfunction. Here we investigated the mechanisms underlying balance disorders in ...

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

  
  COMD News — Authority: 157
  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: 157
  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 ...

• International survey of vestibular rehabilitation therapists by the Barany Society Ad Hoc Committee on Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy

  
  COMD News — Authority: 157
  The goal of this study was to determine how occupational and physical therapists learn about vestibular rehabilitation therapy, their educational backgrounds, referral patterns, and their ideas about entry-level and advanced continuing education in vestibular rehabilitation therapy. The Barany Society Ad Hoc Committee ...

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

  
  COMD News — Authority: 157
  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 ...

• Trends in the management of vestibular schwannomas at Johns Hopkins 1997-2007

  
  COMD News — Authority: 157
  Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: To assess trends in the management of unilateral vestibular schwannomas over an 11-year period and to identify disease- and provider-related influences. Study Design: Retrospective chart review. Methods: Subjects presented to the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery ...

• Anatomical and Physiological Considerations in Vestibular Dysfunction and Compensation

  
  COMD News — Authority: 157
  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 ...

• Dizzy, Delightful, or Irrelevant: How Did Vestibular Stimulation Get So Much Attention?

  
  Blogs — Authority: 162
  I recently received a childrens book catalogue that Ive been getting for years and have always liked. Like most book catalogues, it includes toys and goodies for mothers as well. This time, it included a sort of sliding and riding toy, and heres what the description said: "..it... assists children in balance, ...

• Rotational Tests of Vestibular Function

  
  COMD News — Authority: 157
  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: 157
  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 ...
