2 Vestibular system dysfunction often results in: Nystagmus / Gaze instability / Oscillopsia (Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex) Impaired postural control / Instability (Vestibulo-Spinal Reflex) Vertigo Nausea
3 Assessment Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Vestibulo-Spinal Reflex Vertigo (perceived handicap) Correlation between: Balance measures and ENG Balance measures and perceived handicap (DHI)
4 Assessment of the Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex
5 Function of the Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex The VOR normally acts to maintain stable vision during head motion. The VOR is responsible for counterrotating the eyes in response to head movements. This allows gaze to stay fixed on a specific point.
6 VOR-assessment Some considerations Peripheral component (5 sensors) Quid central component? Laboratory tests versus clinical bedside tests
7 Laboratory tests VOR-assessment Electronystagmography (ENG) (Horizontal SemiCircularCanal) Video-oculoscopy or video-oculography (Anterior & Posterior SemiCircular Canal): observation versus quantification Unilateral centrifugation test (Utriculus): by changing the axis of rotation Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP) i.e. Collic-VEMP (Sacculus) & Ocular-VEMP (Utriculus) Subjective Visual vertical test (Utriculus)...
8 VOR-assessment Clinical bedside tests Halmagyi Head Thrust Test (HHTT) or Head Impulse Test (HIT) Head shaking test (Barany) Dynamic Visual Acuity test (DVA test) (BPPV: Dix-Hallpike test, Side lying test, Roll test (Pagnini-McClure s test)) VOR cancellation test
9 Halmagyi Head Thrust Test Halmagyi & Curthoys (1988) Observe eyes of patient FAST, PASSIVE head thrust, small arc Eyes of patient should fixate on target (e.g. nose of therapist (variation: distant target)) If positive a corrective saccade is observed (if VOR function is insufficient, a refixation saccade is necessary to refoveate the target)

12 Head Thrust Test as a function of canal paresis (Beynon et al (1998)) Canal paresis No. Of patients Negative test result Positive test result Normal (0-25) (100%) 0(0%) Mild paresis (100%) 0 (0%) (25-50) Moderate (90%) 2 (10%) paresis (50-75) Severe paresis (75-100) 30 7 (23%) 23 (77%)
13 VOR-assessment Clinical bedside tests Halmagyi Head Thrust Test (HHTT) or Head Impulse Test (HIT) Head shaking test (Barany) Dynamic Visual Acuity test (DVA test) (BPPV: Dix-Hallpike test, Side lying test, Roll test (Pagnini-McClure s test)) VOR cancellation test
14 Head Shaking Test Therapist oscillates the head (eyes closed and head pitched down 30 ) of the patient 30 times (15 at 2 Hz) horizontally After the head oscillation the patient opens the eyes, which the therapist observes for nystagmus The presence of nystagmus (away from (most) affected side) immediately after this procedure indicates a vestibular imbalance
15 Head-shaking nystagmus test compared with caloric test Sensitivity % Specificity % N Study Wei et al (1989) Takahashi et al (1990) Jacobson et al (1990) Burgio et al (1991) Goebel & Garcia (1992) Harvey et al (1997) Asawavichianginda et al (1997) Average Average 46 75
16 Head-shaking nystagmus test (HSN) as a function of canal paresis (Asawavichianginda et al (1997)) Canal paresis Positive HSN result Normal (0-20) 22% Mild paresis (21-25) 24% Moderate paresis (25-50) 28% Severe paresis (>50) 62%
17 VOR-assessment Clinical bedside tests Halmagyi Head Thrust Test (HHTT) or Head Impulse Test (HIT) Head shaking test (Barany) Dynamic Visual Acuity test (DVA test) (BPPV: Dix-Hallpike test, Side lying test, Roll test (Pagnini-McClure s test)) VOR cancellation test
18 Dynamic Visual Acuity Test The clinical DVA test compares visual acuity with the head still to visual acuity with the head moving It is a method to measure gaze stabilisation in a controlled condition and seems to be a good indicator of a disturbed VOR (Herdman 1998) Valid test to document the functional effect of vestibular rehabilitation (Tusa 2000)
19 DVA protocol Enormous diversity: Optotypes Type (chart) Presentation Scoring Head movement Static versus dynamic visual acuity Active versus passive Horizontal versus vertical Frequency / amplitudo
20 DVA protocol Optotype: An optotype is a sign or object designed to measure psycho-physical aspects of visual acuity. The subject distinguishes this sign or object based on the dimensions of one or more details or he determines its orientation based on the same dimensions. (BIN 1990)
21 DVA protocol Enormous diversity: Optotypes Type (chart) Presentation Scoring Head movement Static versus dynamic visual acuity Active versus passive Horizontal versus vertical Frequency / amplitudo
22 Landolt C Snellen Chart Bailey & Lovie (1976)
23 DVA protocol Enormous diversity: Optotypes Type (chart) Presentation Scoring Head movement Static versus dynamic visual acuity Active versus passive Horizontal versus vertical Frequency / amplitudo
24 DVA protocol Enormous diversity: Optotypes Type (chart) Presentation Scoring Head movement Static versus dynamic visual acuity Active versus passive Horizontal versus vertical Frequency / amplitudo

26 DVA interpretation If the patient can read only lines more than 3 lines above the initial static visual acuity line, he or she likely has a vestibular deficit (Herdman 2007) Sensitivity clinical DVA test for vestibular deficits is 85% and its specificity is 55% (Venuto 1998)
27 DVA protocol ENT-UHAntwerp EDTRS charts V-DVA treadmill 3,4,5,6,9 km/h H-DVA Active 2Hz: not reliable Passive 2Hz: 2nd therapist needed
28 VOR-assessment Clinical bedside tests Halmagyi Head Thrust Test (HHTT) or Head Impulse Test (HIT) Head shaking test (Barany) Dynamic Visual Acuity test (DVA test) (BPPV: Dix-Hallpike test, Side lying test, Roll test (Pagnini-McClure s test)) VOR cancellation test
29 VOR cancellation test Disturbed VOR cancellation test (the subject cannot fixate his eyes on a target that s moving in phase with the head) indicates desinhibition of the VOR (central component, e.g. brainstem or cerebellar lesion)
30 Assessment of the Vestibulo-Spinal Reflex 30
31 VSR-assessment Some items to consider when assessing postural control: Qualitative versus quantitative Static versus dynamic (functional) Clinical versus machine based
32 VSR assessment Vestibulopathic gait Widened base of support Lateropulsion (navigation) Difficulties with handling head movements while walking Standing balance Sensory organisation testing (Romberg and derivates)
33 Functional (walking) Tandem walking Babinski-Weil test or Marche en étoile 30 5 passes forward and then backward Fukuda stepping or Unterberger stepping Singleton test (walk 180 turn and stop) Walk rotate walk test (HSCC-BPPV (Rahko)) Timed Up and Go test Dynamic Gait Index (Functional Gait Assessment)
34 Fukuda stepping or Unterberger stepping Turning more then 45 or 2 m forward in the course of 50 steps is pathological (other sources allow 30 rotation, 50 cm forward stepping & NO backward stepping (Fukuda 1959)) Unterberger is not sensitive for chronic vestibular problems but possibly for acute unilateral problems (Hickey 1990)
35 Functional (walking) Tandem walking Babinski-Weil test or Marche en étoile 30 5 passes forward and then backward Fukuda stepping or Unterberger stepping Singleton test (walk 180 turn and stop) Walk rotate walk test (HSCC-BPPV (Rahko)) Timed Up and Go test Dynamic Gait Index (Functional Gait Assessment)
36 Timed Up & Go test Is a very easy test to perform Patient stands, walks 10 feet, turns, and sits back down in the chair Requires a stop watch and a chair with arms Patient can use an assistive device for the testing
37 Timed Up & Go test Usually you do at least one practice walk and then time the patient They must be seated in the back of the chair to start the testing It is a very reliable test Be careful with your verbal cueing Pace!!
38 Functional (walking) Tandem walking Babinski-Weil test or Marche en étoile 30 5 passes forward and then backward Fukuda stepping or Unterberger stepping Singleton test (walk 180 turn and stop) Walk rotate walk test (HSCC-BPPV (Rahko)) Timed Up and Go test Dynamic Gait Index (Functional Gait Assessment)
39 Dynamic Gait Index It is a tool that was developed to test gait in older adults (A. Shumway-Cook & M. Woollacott) Because the tasks involve a lot of head movements, the DGI includes many items that are valuable for therapists to assess patient s with vestibular deficits
40 Dynamic Gait Index There are 8 items and it takes 7-10 minutes to perform Recent adaptation by D. Wrisley in 2004 (conversion into 10 items (Functional Gait Assessment)) It is based on a four point scale of normal (3), mild (2), moderate (1), or severely (0) impaired This results in a maximum score of 24 for the DGI and 30 for the FGA
41 Dynamic Gait Index Walking Walking acceleration / deceleration on command Walking with horizontal head turns Walking with vertical head turns Walking with 180 turn and stop Walking over an object Tandem walking with eyes open Tandem walking with eyes closed Walking backwards (Walking around 2 cones (figure 8)) Doing stairs
42 Dynamic Gait Index Variable Gait Instability (DGI 19 or less) Number Mean age Number of fallers Gait stable (DGI greater than 19) For the entire group, subjects with gait instability (19 or less on the DGI) were 2.58 times more likely to have at least 1 self-reported fall in the past 6 months (this ratio increases to 3.55 if only subjects older than 65 were included in the analysis). Whitney 2000
43 Standing balance Romberg and derivates Double tasks motor task (with or without Barré- or Jendrassikmanoeuvre) cognitive task Base of support (BOS) unstable BOS (e.g. standing on foam) magnitude (Sharpened Romberg, (semi) tandem stance, single leg stance) Vision (eyes open / eyes closed) Headmovements (with / without) (e.g. metronome)
44 CTSIB Clinical Test for Sensory Interaction in Balance Shumway-Cook A. & Horak F. 1986
45 Quasi-static balance tests Protocol ENT Dept. Antwerp Univ. Hospital Feet together with Jendrassik manœuvre on stable BOS Feet parallel with Jendrassik manœuvre on medium density foam (photo) Tandem stance on stable BOS Single leg stance on stable BOS All tests are performed with eyes open and closed for 30 seconds (best of 3 trials)
46 Quasi-static balance tests Gender and age effects (Int J Audiol 2008; 47: 67-75) Gender: < TR-EC (30 sec) (p = 0.002) (decade 6) Age (normative data): Age related decline in performance is different for each test
47 All tests were performed with eyes closed ROMJ Int J Audiol 2008; 47: 67-75
48 Standing on foam - eyes closed
49 Tandem Romberg eyes closed
50 One leg standing eyes closed
51 Evaluation of Desorientation Dizziness Vertigo Vertigo: sensation of movement of self or environment (rotation, translation, tilt)
52 Evaluation of dizziness The Vestibular Symptom Index (VSI) UCLA Dizziness Questionnaire Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) (Motion Sensitivity Quotient (MSQ) or VHT test protocol)
53 The Vestibular Symptom Index (VSI) Use the following scale to grade the severity of your symptoms since the last visit: Balance Vertigo Dizziness Nausea Visual sensitivity Headache 0 = normal or absent 1 = very, very mild 2 = very mild 3 = mild 4 = low moderate 5 = moderate 6 = high moderate 7 = strong 8 = very strong 9 = extremely strong 10 = disabling; as severe as it can be Vertigo, a sensation that you or the world is spinning or moving; Visual sensitivity, symptoms of imbalance, vertigo, dizziness, motion sickness, etc., that are caused by movement in the visual periphery, flashing lights, or other types of visual stimulation.

54 UCLA Dizziness Questionnaire Please complete all five of the following statements. Circle the response that best describes your dizziness. Please give only one answer for each statement. 1. I am dizzy (frequency): 2. When I am dizzy, my symptoms are most often (severity): 3. When I experience dizziness, it has the following effect on my daily activities, such as working, driving, taking care of a family, and taking care of myself: 4. What impact does my condition have on the overall quality of my life? Examples: participating in social activities, sharing intimate relationships, making plans for the future, obtaining or maintaining work, and participating in leisure activities: 5. Regarding my fear of becoming dizzy: Original reference: Honrubia V, Bell TS, harris MR, Baloh RW, Fisher LM. Qualitative evaluation of dizziness characteristics and impact on quality of life. Am J otol 1996;17:
55 Dizziness Handicap Inventory (Jacobson & Newman 1990) 25 questions (does looking up increase your problem?) Problem = dizziness & instability Yes (4 points) sometimes (2 points) no (0 points) Score 100 = maximal perceived handicap Physical subscale (does bending over increase your problem) Functional subscale (restricted travelling for business or recreation) Emotional subschale ( are you afraid to stay home alone?)
56 Dizziness Handicap Inventory Reliability & Measurement error ICC (total score and subscores): Measurement error: 9 (95%); 12 (99%) Weighted kappa (individual items): %-agreement (individual tems): > 80 %, except item 8 (ambitious activities such as dancing, sports and householding activities): 74% B-ENT 2006; 2: 75-80

61 Relation between ENG (VOR-function) results and clinical balance test results (VSR-function)
62 Relation between ENG (VOR-function) results and clinical balance test results Retrospective chart review of subjects with vertigo and/or instability (n = 87) Correlation study between clinical static (SOF, TR and SLS (eo & ec), Stabalsum), dynamic (TUG, DGI tandem walking) balance tests and ENG findings (caloric asymmetry, VOR-gain, VOR-phase and VOR-asymmetry)
63 Relation between ENG (VOR-function) results and clinical balance test results Correlation study (n = 87) (Vereeck 2009) VOR-phase with SOFec: VOR-phase with TReo: VOR-phase with Stabalsum:
64 Relation between ENG (VOR-function) results and clinical balance test results Retrospective chart review of subjects with vertigo and/or instability (n = 67) Group 1: patients with normal caloric and rotational findings (n = 9) Group 2: patients with asymmetry on caloric test results and normal rotational findings (n = 20) Group 3: patients with abnormal caloric and rotational findings (n = 38)
65 Relation between ENG (VOR-function) results and clinical balance test results Significant differences (Kruskal Wallis test) between the 3 groups were found on (Vereeck 2009): Standing on foam eyes closed (SOFec): p<0.01 Standing balance sum (Stabalsum): p=0.03 Post hoc analysis (Mann Whitney U test) Group 3 < group 1 (SOFec): p=0.02 Group 3 < group 1 (Stabalsum): p=0.08 Group 3 < group 2 (SOFec): p<0.01 Group 3 < group 2 (Stabalsum): p=0.02
66 Relation between ENG (VOR-function) results and clinical balance test results This study demonstrates that patients with symmetrical central vestibular compensation findings, irrespective of peripheral vestibular system status, perform better on static clinical balance tests when compared with patients with asymmetry on rotational testing (disagreement with Gouveris et al 2007)
67 You need to test both VOR & VSR!!
