BACKGROUND:Managing acute vertigo/dizziness for inpatients requires valid communication between the various healthcare professionals that triage such life-threatening presentations, yet there are no current scaling methods for managing such acute vertigo symptoms for inpatients. OBJECTIVE:To describe the development and validation of the Krems Acute Vertigo/Dizziness Scale (KAVEDIS), a new instrument for tracking subjective symptoms (vertigo, dizziness) and gait impairment across four unique vestibular diagnoses (Menière’s disease, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, peripheral vestibular hypofunction, and vestibular migraine) over a one-year period after inpatient hospital admission. METHODS:Retrospective data collection study from KAVEDIS scale and chart documentation. RESULTS:The KAVEDIS scale can significantly distinguish scores from admission to discharge in three of four vestibular diagnoses. The documented course of subjective vestibular symptoms and gait disturbances were correlated in all four groups. CONCLUSION:We suggest that KAVEDIS documentation among inpatients admitted with acute vertigo/dizziness may improve communication between the various intervening clinicians and help to raise concern in cases of symptomprogression.

BACKGROUND: Individuals after a vestibular schwannoma resection (VSR) experience significant vestibular symptoms that can be provoked with turning. Vestibular rehabilitation assists in recovery of function and symptom relief, however turning response is unknown. OBJECTIVE: Examine peak turning speed response to surgery and rehabilitation. METHODS: Eight participants with a vestibular schwannoma (PwVS) and five healthy controls (HC) participated in this study. Peak turning speed (PTS) was captured with inertial measurement units (IMU) at the head and/or trunk during turning tasks at a pre-operative, post-operative and post-treatment assessment. Vestibular rehabilitation was provided twice weekly for six weeks. Linear mixed models were used to assess change in PTS across time points. RESULTS: PwVS performed slower PTS than HC prior to surgery. PTS was significantly slower post-operatively compared to pre-operative during walking with head turns (B = –61.03, p = 0.004), two-minute walk test (B = –37.33, p = 0.015), 360° turn (B range from 50.05 to –57.4, p < 0.05) and complex turning course (CTC) at the trunk (B = –18.63, p = 0.009). Post-treatment PTS was significantly faster than pre-operative during CTC at the head (B = 18.46, p = 0.014) and trunk (B = 15.99, p = 0.023). CONCLUSION: PwVS may have turning deficits prior to surgical resection. PTS was significantly affected post-operatively, however improved with rehabilitation.

BACKGROUND: Inertial self-motion perception is thought to depend primarily on otolith cues. Recent evidence demonstrated that vestibular perceptual thresholds (including inertial heading) are adaptable, suggesting novel clinical approaches for treating perceptual impairments resulting from vestibular disease. OBJECTIVE: Little is known about the psychometric properties of perceptual estimates of inertial heading like test-retest reliability. Here we investigate the psychometric properties of a passive inertial heading perceptual test. METHODS: Forty-seven healthy subjects participated across two visits, performing in an inertial heading discrimination task. The point of subjective equality (PSE) and thresholds for heading discrimination were identified for the same day and across day tests. Paired t-tests determined if the PSE or thresholds significantly changed and a mixed interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) model examined test-retest reliability. Minimum detectable change (MDC) was calculated for PSE and threshold for heading discrimination. RESULTS: Within a testing session, the heading discrimination PSE score test-retest reliability was good (ICC = 0. 80) and did not change (t(1,36) = –1.23, p = 0.23). Heading discrimination thresholds were moderately reliable (ICC = 0.67) and also stable (t(1,36) = 0.10, p = 0.92). Across testing sessions, heading direction PSE scores were moderately correlated (ICC = 0.59) and stable (t(1,46) = –0.44, p = 0.66). Heading direction thresholds had poor reliability (ICC = 0.03) and were significantly smaller at the second visit (t(1,46) = 2.8, p = 0.008). MDC for heading direction PSE ranged from 6–9 degrees across tests. CONCLUSION: The current results indicate moderate reliability for heading perception PSE and provide clinical context for interpreting change in inertial vestibular self-motion perception over time or after an intervention.
背景:惯性自我运动感知被认为主要依赖于耳石线索。最近的证据表明,前庭知觉阈值(包括惯性航向)具有适应性,这为治疗前庭疾病导致的知觉障碍提供了新的临床方法。目的:人们对惯性航向感知估计值的心理测量特性(如测试-再测可靠性)知之甚少。在此,我们研究了被动惯性航向感知测试的心理测量特性。方法:47 名健康受试者参加了两次惯性航向辨别任务。确定了同日和跨日测试的主观相等点(PSE)和航向辨别阈值。配对 t 检验确定主观相等点或阈值是否发生了显著变化,混合类间相关系数 (ICC) 模型检验了测试-再测可靠性。计算了PSE和航向辨别阈值的最小可检测变化(MDC)。结果:在一次测试中,航向辨别 PSE 分数的重测可靠性良好(ICC = 0.80),且没有变化(t(1,36) = -1.23, p = 0.23)。方向辨别力阈值的可靠性为中等(ICC = 0.67),也很稳定(t(1,36) = 0.10,p = 0.92)。在各次测试中,航向方向 PSE 分数具有中度相关性(ICC = 0.59)和稳定性(t(1,46) = -0.44,p = 0.66)。标题方向阈值的可靠性较差(ICC = 0.03),并且在第二次访问时明显变小(t(1,46) = 2.8,p = 0.008)。各次测试中,航向 PSE 的 MDC 在 6-9 度之间。结论:目前的结果表明,航向感知 PSE 具有适度的可靠性,并为解释惯性前庭自我运动感知随时间或干预后的变化提供了临床背景。

BACKGROUND:Our sense of direction (SOD) ability relies on the sensory integration of both visual information and self-motion cues from the proprioceptive and vestibular systems. Here, we assess how dysfunction of the vestibular system impacts perceived SOD in varying vestibular disorders, and secondly, we explore the effects of dizziness, migraine and psychological symptoms on SOD ability in patient and control groups. METHODS:87 patients with vestibular disorder and 69 control subjects were assessed with validated symptom and SOD questionnaires (Santa Barbara Sense of Direction scale and the Object Perspective test). RESULTS:While patients with vestibular disorders performed significantly worse than controls at the group level, only central and functional disorders (vestibular migraine and persistent postural perceptual dizziness), not peripheral disorders (benign-paroxysmal positional vertigo, bilateral vestibular failure and Meniere’s disease) showed significant differences compared to controls on the level of individual vestibular groups. Additionally, orientational abilities associated strongly with spatial anxiety and showed clear separation from general dizziness and psychological factors in both patient and control groups. CONCLUSIONS:SOD appears to be less affected by peripheral vestibular dysfunction than by functional and/or central diagnoses, indicating that higher level disruptions to central vestibular processing networks may impact SOD more than reductions in sensory peripheral inputs. Additionally, spatial anxiety is highly associated with orientational abilities in both patients and control subjects.

BACKGROUND: The upright head roll test (UHRT) is a recently introduced diagnostic maneuver for lateral semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (LSC-BPPV). OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the UHRT. METHODS: Two separate studies were conducted.Study 1 analyzed 827 results of videonystagmography (VNG) to assess UHRT reliability, and Study 2 analyzed 130 LSC-BPPV cases to evaluate UHRT validity. RESULTS: The inter-test reliability between UHRT and the supine head roll test (SHRT) showed substantial agreement (Cohen’s kappa = 0.753) in direction-changing positional nystagmus (DCPN) and almost perfect agreement (Cohen’s kappa = 0.836) in distinguishing the direction of DCPN. The validity assessment of UHRT showed high accuracy in diagnosing LSC-BPPV (80.0% ) and in differentiating the variant types (74.6% ). UHRT was highly accurate in diagnosing the canalolithiasis type in LSC-BPPV patients (Cohen’s kappa = 0.835); however, it showed only moderate accuracy in diagnosing the cupulolithiasis type (Cohen’s kappa = 0.415). The intensity of nystagmus in UHRT was relatively weaker than that in SHRT (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: UHRT is a reliable test for diagnosing LSC-BPPV and distinguishing subtypes. However, UHRT has a limitation in discriminating the affected side owing to a weaker intensity of nystagmus than SHRT.

OBJECTIVE: In our study, it was aimed to compare vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain and saccade parameters in HIMP and SHIMP tests between gender, right and left ears, and age groups in healthy adults and to examine the correlation between the tests regarding these parameters. METHODS: The study included a total of 100 healthy participants aged 18–65 and without complaints of hearing loss, dizziness, lightheadedness, and/or imbalance. Participants underwent HIMP and SHIMP tests, respectively. RESULTS: No significant difference was found in HIMP and SHIMP VOR gain values according to gender and age groups. SHIMP duration was significantly longer in women. VOR gain values were lower in the right ear. HIMP amplitude values were higher and SHIMP amplitude values were lower with increasing age. In older age groups, SHIMP peak velocity and duration values were significantly decreased, while HIMP duration value increased and latency value was longer. In the 1st saccade, a significant difference was obtained between HIMP and SHIMP tests for all saccade parameters. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the VOR gain values of HIMP and SHIMP tests. CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed that VOR gain and saccade parameters obtained in different age groups will be important in determining clinical outcomes in vestibular pathologies.
目的:我们的研究旨在比较健康成年人在HIMP和SHIMP测试中的前庭眼反射(VOR)增益和囊状移动参数在性别、左右耳和年龄组之间的差异,并研究这些参数在测试之间的相关性。方法:研究共包括 100 名年龄在 18-65 岁之间、无听力损失、头晕、头重脚轻和/或失衡症状的健康参与者。参与者分别接受了 HIMP 和 SHIMP 测试。结果:不同性别和年龄组的 HIMP 和 SHIMP VOR 增益值无明显差异。女性的 SHIMP 持续时间明显更长。右耳的 VOR 增益值较低。随着年龄的增长,HIMP 振幅值越高,SHIMP 振幅值越低。在老年组中,SHIMP 峰值速度和持续时间值明显降低,而 HIMP 持续时间值增加,潜伏期值延长。在第 1 次囊回中,HIMP 和 SHIMP 测试的所有囊回参数均有显著差异。在统计学上,HIMP 和 SHIMP 测试的 VOR 增益值呈显著正相关。结论:本研究表明,不同年龄组的 VOR 增益和囊状移动参数对确定前庭病变的临床结果非常重要。
