Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the diagnostic values associated with both a positive and negative Skull Vibration Induced Nystagmus Test (SVINT) performed in room light (with fixation). The hypotheses include: 1. A positive room light SVINT will be identified in individuals with moderate to severe vestibular asymmetries. 2. A positive room light SVINT will be present when 10 beats or more (counted over 10 seconds) of nystagmus are found with fixation blocked.

Conditions

  • Vestibular Disease

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Dizziness Handicap Inventory

A standardized questionnaire used to quantify symptoms of dizziness.

BEHAVIORAL

Global Rating of Change

A standardized questionnaire used to review the overall outcome of the participants condition with physical therapy.

BEHAVIORAL

Patient Acceptable Symptom State

A standardized questionnaire used to determine whether meaningful progress has been made

PROCEDURE

Spontaneous Nystagmus Test

An observational test procedure used to identify involuntary eye movements caused by inner ear and/or brain dysfunction. The test is performed both in room light and with fixation blocked with a Micromedical Technologies infrared lens.

PROCEDURE

Gazehold Nystagmus Test

An observational test procedure used to identify involuntary eye movements caused by inner ear and/or brain dysfunction. The test is performed both in room light and with fixation blocked with a Micromedical Technologies infrared lens.

PROCEDURE

Primary Vibration Test

A test used to identify asymmetry that may be present in the vestibular system through 60-100 MHz vibration applied to the mastoid bone. A WAHL massager is used to stimulate the inner ear by vibrating the mastoid bone. The test is performed both in room light and with fixation blocked with a Micromedical Technologies infrared lens.
