Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials

    Time frame: 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)

  2. Posturography

    Time frame: up to 6 months

    Posturography was measured in 6 different sensory conditions. The posturographic parameters of center of pressure were measured for this study.

  3. Perception of subjective visual vertical

    Time frame: 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°
