VEMP – Vestibular Testing
VEMP – Vestibular Testing
Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP) testing is an advanced diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the balance organs of the inner ear and their connection to the brain. This test helps identify vestibular disorders that may cause dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, or unexplained falls by assessing otolith organ function and neural pathways.
Benefits of VEMP Testing:
VEMP testing provides valuable information about inner ear balance function, helping specialists accurately diagnose vestibular disorders and design effective rehabilitation strategies.
