Dizziness & Balance Tests
StabilityLAB's unique evidence-based approach utilizes objective tests to diagnose vertigo and restore balance.
If you have been experiencing vertigo, imbalance, or other symptoms affecting your equilibrium, it is crucial to undergo proper evaluation to identify the underlying cause.
What are the diagnostic tests available at StabilityLAB?
Video-Oculogram (VOG)
A Video-Oculogram (VOG) is a diagnostic tool used to assess eye movements and function.
VOG tests are commonly used to diagnose and evaluate conditions affecting the vestibular system (responsible for balance and spatial orientation) and ocular motor system (responsible for controlling eye movements).
Videonystagmogram (VNG)
A Videonystagmogram (VNG) is a test that measures a type of eye movement that you can’t control.
Special goggles equipped with infrared cameras that track eye movements are used. This test is particularly helpful in diagnosing disorders of the inner ear, such as vestibular disorders and certain types of vertigo.
cVEMP
A Cervical Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (cVEMP) test is a diagnostic procedure used to assess the function of the vestibular system, particularly the saccule and its associated neural pathways. cVEMP testing is commonly used in the diagnosis of various vestibular disorders, including superior canal dehiscence syndrome, vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma), and other conditions affecting the inner ear or vestibular nerve.
oVEMP
An Ocular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (oVEMP) test is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the function of the otolithic organs in the inner ear, specifically the utricle, and its associated neural pathways. The oVEMP test provides valuable information about the integrity of the otolithic organs and their connections, aiding clinicians in the assessment and management of individuals with balance and vestibular disorders.
Middle Ear Pressure and Reflex Testing
A Middle Ear Pressure and Reflex test is a hearing test with middle ear pressure testing. It allows clinicians to obtain comprehensive information about both the sensitivity of hearing and the status of the middle ear.
Center of Gravity Measurement (COG)
Center of Gravity (COG) measurement refers to the assessment of an individual’s center of gravity, which is the point within the body where the entire body’s weight is concentrated and balanced in all directions. Assessing the center of gravity provides valuable information about posture, balance, and stability, as well as the distribution of forces during various activities.
Limits of Stability Measurement (LOS)
The Limits of Stability (LOS) test is a clinical assessment used to evaluate an individual’s ability to control their center of gravity (COG) within their base of support while maintaining balance. This test assesses the individual’s dynamic stability and the range within which they can effectively control their COG.
Sensory Ratio (SR)
Sensory ratios (SR) are used to describe the relative contributions of different sensory systems (such as vision, vestibular, and somatosensory) to maintaining balance and orientation.
