Abstract

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to establish normative values for the vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) test in adults and to evaluate test-retest reliability using bone-conducted stimuli at different frequencies.

Method: The present study comprised 35 individuals aged 18-40 years. Cervical VEMP and ocular VEMP tests were administered using tone-burst stimuli delivered at 60 dB nHL at frequencies of 250, 500, and 750 Hz with a Radioear B-71 bone vibrator. The initial evaluation was conducted by one clinician, and a subsequent evaluation was performed by a different clinician after a 1-week interval. Wave latencies, interlatencies, amplitudes, and amplitude asymmetry values were analyzed using a test-retest approach.

Results: In cervical VEMP assessments using bone-conducted stimuli, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values ranged from .23 to .78 at 250 Hz, from .40 to .75 at 500 Hz, and from .29 to .79 at 750 Hz. In ocular VEMP assessments using bone-conducted stimuli, ICC values across evaluation parameters ranged from .13 to .81 at 250 Hz, from .22 to .67 at 500 Hz, and from .24 to .81 at 750 Hz.

Conclusion: Cervical and ocular VEMP tests employing bone-conducted stimuli are considered reliable methods for evaluating the functional integrity of the vestibular system.

健康人颈椎和眼前庭诱发肌源性电位：不同频率骨传导的正常值。

目的：本研究的目的是建立成人前庭诱发肌电位（VEMP）测试的规范值，并评估不同频率骨传导刺激的重测可靠性。方法：本研究纳入35名年龄在18-40岁之间的个体。颈椎VEMP和眼部VEMP测试使用60 dB nHL， 250、500和750 Hz频率的音调爆发刺激，使用Radioear B-71骨振动器。最初的评估由一位临床医生进行，随后的评估在一周的间隔后由另一位临床医生进行。波潜伏期、间隔期、振幅和振幅不对称值采用测试-重测试方法进行分析。结果：在颈椎VEMP评估使用骨传导刺激，类内相关系数（ICC）值范围从。23 . to。250赫兹，78。40到。75在500赫兹，从。29 . to。750hz。在使用骨传导刺激进行眼部VEMP评估时，ICC值在评估参数范围从。13到。81, 250赫兹，来自。22 . to。67在500赫兹，从。24到。750hz。结论：颈椎和眼部VEMP试验采用骨传导刺激被认为是评估前庭系统功能完整性的可靠方法。

期刊介绍： Mission: AJA publishes peer-reviewed research and other scholarly articles pertaining to clinical audiology methods and issues, and serves as an outlet for discussion of related professional and educational issues and ideas. The journal is an international outlet for research on clinical research pertaining to screening, diagnosis, management and outcomes of hearing and balance disorders as well as the etiologies and characteristics of these disorders. The clinical orientation of the journal allows for the publication of reports on audiology as implemented nationally and internationally, including novel clinical procedures, approaches, and cases. AJA seeks to advance evidence-based practice by disseminating the results of new studies as well as providing a forum for critical reviews and meta-analyses of previously published work. Scope: The broad field of clinical audiology, including audiologic/aural rehabilitation; balance and balance disorders; cultural and linguistic diversity; detection, diagnosis, prevention, habilitation, rehabilitation, and monitoring of hearing loss; hearing aids, cochlear implants, and hearing-assistive technology; hearing disorders; lifespan perspectives on auditory function; speech perception; and tinnitus.
