SYMPTOMS

Our Comprehensive Testing for Balance and Dizziness

We offer a variety of advance tests to evaluate the functional status of your balance. These tests help us to know if any part of your vestibular system (which is responsible for balance) is not functioning properly. Given Below are some of the key tests we perform

Videonystagmography (VNG)

This test uses infrared camera which are placed in goggles to track eye movement. This test helps evaluate the functioning of your vestibular-ocular reflex, which is responsible for keeping your eye steady when your head moves. During VNG, we check for:

  • Spontaneous Nystagmus: In this test the patient is asked to look straight ahead and the eye movement are recorded in complete darkness.  
  • Smooth Pursuit:  The patient is asked to follow a target which is moving like pendulum.
  • Saccades: The patient is asked to follow quickly moving target. 
  • GazeInduce Nystagmus: The patient is asked to keep their eyes steady on a target placed 30 degree to the right and left 
  • Head Shaking-Induced Nystagmus: This test detects asymmetry in labyrinthine tone.
  • Positional Tests: By taking the patient to different position on the couch this test is useful for the detection of BPPV.
  • Caloric Testing: This test involves irrigating the ear with Water and Air to identify the vestibular status  

Video Head Impulse Test (VHIT)

VHIT is a quick and effective test that evaluates the function of all six semicircular canals in the inner ear. It measures how well your eyes stabilize when your head moves quickly in different direction.

Craniocorpography (CCG)

This test allows us measure your body postural control during movement, this includes the following test-

  • Romberg Test: Standing still with your eyes closed to see if you lose balance. The patient is asked to stand with arms stretched out and eyes closed. The balance control is this recorded in their condition 
  • Tandem Walking: Walking heel-to-toe in a straight line to check balance 
  • Unterberger’s Test: In this test the patient is asked to step in place for 90 steps while being blindfolded. This allows measurement of balance control when visual cues are denied.

Subjective Visual Vertical (SVV)

This test helps us determine how well you can comprehend the “Vertical” or upright position of an object. We look for any abnormal tilt in how you see things, which can indicate issues with your vestibular system (inner ear) or central nervous system. The SVV is helpful for: 

  • Differentiating between peripheral (inner ear) and central (brain) balance disorder
  • Determining which side of the inner ear might be affected
  • Measures Otolith function
  • Tracking improvement in chronic dizziness or vertigo

Computerized Dynamic Visual Acuity (DVA)

This test checks your ability to focus on moving objects while your head is in motion. It is one the earliest test to detect vestibulotoxicity which may be associated with ototoxic medicine by the ‘mycin’ antibiotics, anti-TB Medication and chemotherapy. It is also a useful rehabilitation tool.

Stabilometry

Stabilometry measure how well you can maintain balance in steady position. This test is helpful in giving a subjective measurement of your postural control. It is used in vestibular rehabilitation and a useful tool to track the progress of rehabilitation.

Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP)

CDP assesses how well your body controls balance during dynamic movements. It helps us understand which balance strategies your body uses and identifies any weaknesses, which allows us to customize a rehabilitation plan tailored to your needs. This test involves subjecting the patient to unpredictable perturbation and measure low stability is maintained.

Rotary Chair

This test is done in a rotating chair, as the name suggests. The patient wears VNG Goggles to track the eye movement during different kind of rotatory tests. This is especially useful in children and older adults. The Rotary Chair is considered to be the ‘Gold Standard’ test for identification of Bilateral Peripheral Vestibulopathy.
