Abstract

Background: VEMPs are used to evaluate the function of otolith system. cVEMP evaluate the function of saccule and oVEMP evaluate the function of utricle. There are equivocal findings in the test-retest reliability of cVEMP and oVEMP response among the young adult's groups. Therefore, the present study was taken up to see test-retest reliability the test-retest reliability of cVEMPs (with and without integrated visual feedback system) and oVEMP parameters across different age groups. Method: A total of 60 participants were included among the three groups (young adult, middle adult and old adult) with an equal number of in each group. cVEMP and oVEMP were performed thrice for all the participants to see the test-retest reliability. Results: Present study results showed test-retest reliability was fair to good and above for all the parameters for cVEMP as well as oVEMP response. cVEMP peak to peak amplitude retest reliability with integrated visual feedback showed more reliability than without integrated visual feedback system in middle and old adults. Conclusion: It can be concluded from the current study that cVEMP and oVEMP testing procedures are reliable in the young, middle and old adult groups during and between test recordings.

不同年龄组前庭诱发肌源性电位的测试-再测试可靠性

背景：VEMP用于评价耳石系统的功能。cVEMP评价球囊功能，oVEMP评价胞囊功能。在年轻人组中，cVEMP和oVEMP反应的重测可靠性存在模棱两可的结果。因此，本研究旨在观察不同年龄组的cVEMP（有和没有集成视觉反馈系统）和oVEMP参数的重测可靠性。方法：共有60名参与者被纳入三组（年轻人、中年人和老年人），每组人数相等。对所有参与者进行三次cVEMP和oVEMP，以观察重测的可靠性。结果：目前的研究结果表明，cVEMP和oVEMP反应的所有参数的重测可靠性均为良好。在中老年人中，有综合视觉反馈系统的cVEMP峰间振幅复测信度比没有综合视觉反馈的cVEMP-峰间幅度复测信度更高。结论：从目前的研究中可以得出结论，cVEMP和oVEMP测试程序在测试记录期间和之间的年轻、中老年组中是可靠的。
