Conditions
Brief summary
The objective is to improve vestibular diagnostics in dizzy patients. The vestibular organ in inner ear senses motion, and controls eye movements to keep images stable. Vestibular dysfunction can be best characterized by comparing eye movement responses during motion stimuli.
Interventions
Spontaneous and provoked eye movements during provocative head tilts or rotations are recorded in dizzy patients with surface electrodes, and mask-mounted videocamera, and head motion sensor during the test time of approximately one hour . Head tilts are up to 45 degrees on each side, and head rotations are up to 30 degrees on each side. These movements are well within the range used during natural locomotion. The test is performed once within one test session at 1 week, at 3 months and at 1 y
