Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials | up to 6 months | To evaluate the results of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials we used the latency (ms) and the amplitude (μV) of the positive wave (P13) and the negative wave (N23) |
| Posturography | up to 6 months | Posturography was measured in 6 different sensory conditions. The posturographic parameters of center of pressure were measured for this study. |
| Perception of subjective visual vertical | up to 6 months | We measured perception of subjective visual vertical (SVV) in static and dynamic conditions. Each participant completed a total of six trials for static SVV and twelve trials for dynamic SVV, in six trials the optokinetic background rotated clockwise and in six trials counterclockwise. Norms for static conditions are ±2° and for dynamic conditions ±4° |
