A new test for utricular function has recently been introduced and validated, namely the ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP), which refers to the myogenic potentials recorded by surface EMG electrodes beneath both eyes in response to bone conducted vibration (BCV) of the head or air conducted sound (ACS). The oVEMP test differs from another vestibular-evoked myogenic potential r...

background: rheumatoid arthritis (ra) is an autoimmune systemic disease. most common autoimmune diseases are multisystem disorders that may also present with otological manifestations, and autoimmune inner ear disease accompanied by vestibular dysfunction. this study aimed to compare the vestibular function between ra patients and normal subjects using cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potent...

background :preterm birth is a significant global health problem with serious short- and long-term consequences. this study examined the long term effects of preterm birth on vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (vemps) among preschool-aged children.   methods : thirty-one children with preterm and 20 children with term birth histories aged 5.5 to 6.5 years were studied. each child underwent v...

OBJECTIVE To measure the frequency dynamics of cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in healthy subjects and patients with Ménière's disease. STUDY DESIGN A prospective cohort study. SETTING A university teaching hospital. SUBJECTS Eight healthy volunteers (16 ears) and 12 adult patients with unilateral Ménière's disease (8 with definite disease and 4 with probable dis...

BACKGROUND This study compared vestibulocollic reflex and vestibulo-ocular reflex functioning in subjects with and without human immunodeficiency virus. It also described test results throughout progression of the disease and compared the results of human immunodeficiency virus positive subjects who were receiving antiretroviral therapies with those not receiving this treatment. METHODS Subje...
