Peripheral Neuropathies and the Vestibular System: Is there a role for Vestibular Rehabilitation?

Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) are used to objectively evaluate function and dysfunction of the vestibular system, specifically the sacullo-collic pathway (mainly, with the use of cervical VEMPs (cVEMPs)) and the utriculo-ocular pathway (mainly, with the use of ocular VEMPs (oVEMPs) (Colebatch et al., 1994; Rosengren et al., 2005; Iwasaki et al., 2007; Todd et al., 2007; Rosengren et al., 2009; Zhang et al., 2011). Together with other paramedical examinations, notably the caloric test and the video head impulse test (vHIT), all parts of the vestibular labyrinth may now be objectively and quantitatively examined.
