The suppression head impulse paradigm (SHIMP) complements the head impulse paradigm (HIMP) and is considered more sensitive for residual vestibular function. This study examined the impact of cognitive and motor dual-tasking on SHIMP in healthy adults.MethodsTwenty-two participants performed single-task HIMP and SHIMP alongside two cognitive dual-task SHIMP (serial subtraction, map navigation) and one motor dual-task SHIMP (counter clicking). Outcomes included VOR gain and anti-compensatory saccade parameters (number, latency, amplitude, duration, and peak velocity).ResultsVOR gain was lower in SHIMP than HIMP (0.827 ± 0.140 vs 0.941 ± 0.123; <i>p</i> < 0.001). Cognitive dual-task markedly affected anti-compensatory saccade, reducing saccade number (15-22%), prolonging latency (39-47%), decreasing amplitude (20%), shortening duration (∼5%), and reducing peak velocity (∼10%) (all <i>p</i> < 0.05). Motor dual-task modestly increased gain (0.868 ± 0.131 vs 0.827 ± 0.140; <i>p</i> = 0.025) but only increased anti-compensatory saccade latency by 17% (<i>p</i> < 0.05).ConclusionsDual-tasking exerted distinct effects on SHIMP outcomes.

Among these, 86.9% reported DD symptoms either in patients with vestibular disorders (14/15) or in healthy individuals during vestibular stimulations (6/8).
