2. Closed - Fixed Somatosensory input deficit
3. Open Sway Fixed
4. Open Fixed Sway Visual Input deficit
5. Closed - Sway Vestibular input deficit
6. Open Sway Sway Most difficult test, Tests CNS ability to coordinate information

Ratio Comparison Functional Relevance
Somatosensory (SOM)
Condition 2 Condition 1
Patient's ability to use input from somatosensory system to maintain balance
Visual (VIS)
Condition 4 Condition 1
Patient's ability to use input from visual system to maintain balance
Vestibular (VEST)
Condition 5 Condition 1
Patient's ability to use input from vestibular system to maintain balance
Preference (PREF)
Condition 3 + 6 Condition 2 + 5
Inaccurate visual cues result in increased sway compared to absence of visual cues. Hence patient relies on visual cues even if inaccurate.

Motor Coordination/ Control Test • Uses 3 posterior 3 anterior 3
rotations around ankle each of 3 magnitude.
• Output parameter are- 1.latency 2. weight distribution onto each leg 3. Measure of strength depending
upon strength of perturbation Patients response compared with
normal subject of same age.
• Adaptation Test: For each platform rotation, a sway
energy score quantifies the magnitude of the force response required to overcome induced postural instability
![Page 30: ELECTRODIAGNOSTIC TESTS FOR VERTIGO•Slow Sinusoidal harmonic acceleration used •Vestibular stimuli: Head & body rotation is given – at frequencies of 0.01, 0.02, 0.04.upto 0.64](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040919/5e952c5d8cd7f465df19e219/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Strategy Analysis and COG
Strategy Analysis:
quantifies the relative amount of movement of ankles (ankle strategy) and hips (hip strategy) that patient used to maintain balance during each trial.
Normal, stable individuals move primarily ankle joints when surface is stable and shift to hip movements as they become less stable.
COG Alignment:
Reflects patient's COG position relative to center of base of support at the start of each trial of SOT.Normal individuals maintain their COG near the center of support base.

INTERPRETATION
• Unilateral: Prolonged latency – peripheral Nerve Lesion
• Unidirectional: Peripheral Nerve or Motor Tract Lesion
• Bilateral/ Bidirectional: Systemic CNS disorder (Multiple sclerosis, polyneuropathy)

the 3 sensory inputs send in contradictory
information

• Electrode is placed close to tympanic membrane or cochlea
• Auditory Stimulus - click or tone burst presented at a relatively slow rate (11.1/sec).
• Response collected from 0 to 5 msecs.
• Used mainly in Ménière's disease.

• The components of ECochG are: – CM (cochlear microphonic) - Stimulus-dependent
cochlear response, which changes direction with changing polarity.
– SP (summating potential) - direct current response from Organ of Corti hair cells. Leading hump on AP or wave I (sometimes it is a separate hump).
– AP (action potential) - alternating current response generated by cochlear end of 8th nerve (wave I). Represents summed response of thousands of firing auditory nerve fibers.
