Electrophysiologic testsests can be used to evaluate the function of each of the five vestibular sensory receptors in the labyrinth, in patients with dizziness and imbalance. Tests of semicircular canal function concentrate on vestibular ocular reflex behavior and include the bilateral, bi-thermal caloric test, video head impulse tests (vHIT), and rotary chair tests. Otolith function tests focus on changes in muscle tone and include the cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP and oVEMP). Interpreting vestibular tests requires an understanding of the underlying anatomy and physiology, and an appreciation of central compensation processes and their effects on each test. This chapter reviews the techniques and interpretation of vestibular testing to assess semicircular canal and otolith function and postural control.

Zusammenfassung Assessments sind objektive standardisierte Testverfahren, mit denen sich in der Physiotherapie die Situation des Patienten beurteilen lässt. Sie liefern Hinweise für die Optimierung und weitere Therapieplanung. Die AG Akademisierung stellt im VPTMAGAZIN valide Tests steckbriefartig vor.
