Abstract
Recording of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) is a well-established method for functional diagnostics of the otolith organs. VEMPs are vestibular reflexes of the sacculus und utriculus to acoustic stimulation by air-conducted sound or bone-conducted vibration and are recorded by surface electrodes from the cervical (cVEMP) and ocular (oVEMP) muscles. The results of VEMP recordings are part of the neuro-otologic test battery and enable diagnosis of various vestibular disorders or differentiation between non-vestibular and peripheral vestibular vertigo. However, the methods for recording VEMPs vary substantially, although recording and stimulation parameters as well as methods of data analysis have a significant influence on the results. This article provides an overview of recommended parameters as well as practical instructions for the recording, analysis, and interpretation of VEMPs.
