background and aim: motion sickness (ms) is usually generated when there is a mismatch between the senses which serve balance. one of these senses is related to vestibular system, so it is highly possible that ms reflects in vestibular test results. but there are some conflicts in correlation between vestibular findings and ms. thus, the objective of this study was to provide an overview of ves...

background :aging can cause loss of balance, which may lead to physical and psychological problems. as the role of the otolith organs in maintaining postural stability has been emphasized in recent years, the present study investigated the effect of aging on saccular function using cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cvemp).   methods : the participants were assigned into two groups...

  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...

introduction:   the daf is a large persian frame drum used as a musical instrument in both popular and classical music which can induce a percussive sound at low frequencies (146–290 hz) with peaks of up to 130 dbspl. the percussive sounds have a power distribution in the region of saccular sensitivity. in view of the saccular stimulation by sound in humans, we decided to use cervical vestibula...

OBJECTIVE To investigate saccular function using vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in children with congenital or early acquired sensorineural hearing loss. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Pediatric tertiary referral center. PATIENTS Twenty-three children with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (severe to profound in 22 cases, moderate in 1 case) underwent evaluation of s...

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...

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...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article reviews the literature on vestibular-evoked myogenic potential testing, a short latency electromyogram evoked by high acoustic stimuli and recorded via surface electrodes over the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Applications and refinements of this technique are described for different pathologies and in adults and children. RECENT FINDINGS Various techniques for el...

UNLABELLED Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials are vestibulocervical reflexes resulting from sacculus stimulation with strong intensity sounds. Normality parameters are necessary for young normal individuals, using low frequency stimuli, which configure the most sensitive region of this sensory organ. AIM To establish vestibular evoked myogenic potential standards for low frequency stimulat...

background and aim: autoimmune inner ear disease (aied) may accompany certain systemic conditions, such as rheumatoid arth­ritis, and manifest audiovestibular dysfunction. this study aimed to compare the vestibular function between rheumatoid arthritis (ra) patients and normal subjects using cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials and caloric tests. methods: in this cross-sectional study...
