The video head impulse test (vHIT) of semicircular canal function – age dependent normative values of VOR gain in healthy subjects

The video head impulse test (vHIT) of semicircular canal function – age dependent normative values of VOR gain in healthy subjects

Background/Hypothesis. The video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) is now widely used to test the function of each of the six semicircular canals individually by measuring the eye rotation response to an abrupt head rotation in the plane of the canal. The main measure of canal adequacy is the ratio of the...
