JF calculates unilateral weakness (UW) by subtracting the weaker ear (WE) response from the stronger ear (SE) and using the sum of both responses as a reference. However, the result is unwieldy and may mislead clinicians if interpreted as an indication of how much weaker the response of the WE is compared to the contralateral SE as a percentage. Through mathematical analysis, we examined what question JF answers and explored, for each vestibular test, alternative asymmetry equations for a more meaningful assessment of vestibular asymmetry. JF has three key limitations. First, its nonlinear nature leads to an underestimation of paresis, particularly when the WE response is near 41% of SE, where the calculated UW is capped at 18%. Second, JF derives the asymmetry from a \"symmetry point\", splitting the difference between both sides, with the average response in the middle, rather than directly quantifying UW as clinicians understand it. Instead, JF answers two separate questions: \"How much is the WE response below the average\" and \"How much is the SE response above the average.\" To address these issues, a linear paresis calculation using only the SE response as a reference was later introduced. However, this approach did not resolve JF's third limitation: artificially inflated values and sensitivity to small variations in WE when both ears are affected. Unlike the caloric test, the vHIT already relies on head velocity as an absolute reference for gain calculation, eliminating the need for SE in asymmetry calculation. Employing an ideal gain of 1, asymmetry can be expressed as a simple side-to-side gain difference, preventing inflated results in bilateral deficits and easing clinical calculation.</p>","PeriodicalId":49960,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vestibular Research-Equilibrium & Orientation","volume":" ","pages":"9574271251336143"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144030255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, there is limited research exploring visual-vestibular interactions under weak vestibular stimulation. This study investigates the impact of weak inertial stimulation on visual-vestibular bimodal heading perception. A translational XY-axis motion platform equipped with a 46-inch LCD TV was utilized to generate synchronized visual and inertial stimuli. The heading perception was examined under visual-only, vestibular-only, and bimodal conditions using three levels of inertial stimuli (9 mg, 14 mg, and 19 mg). In each condition, participants were tested at nine angles (±16°, ±9.2°, ±3°, ±1.7°, and 0° where 0° represents forward movement), to discern left-forward or right-forward motion. The heading discrimination threshold (HDT) was derived from participants' rightward response proportions across all angles. Our findings reveal that the HDT under 14 mg bimodal conditions is significantly higher than that under visual-only conditions (with marginal significance in the 9 mg and 19 mg conditions), indicating that the presence of weak vestibular signals might decrease the precision of bimodal heading discrimination. These results contradict the prediction of Bayesian model theory that perception is more precise under bimodal compared with unimodal conditions. The results may be explained by neurological biases during Bayesian integration, the \"reduced visual precision\" theory, or increased task complexity in bimodal heading discrimination.

Changes in DHI scale scores and residual or new symptoms were investigated.ResultsA total of 65 AUVP/VN patients with vestibular receptor dysfunction were included. There were 51 cases in the pVND group and 14 in the tVND group. Compared to the pVND group, the tVND group showed longer vertigo duration (<i>p</i> < 0.05), higher rates of postural symptoms (<i>p</i> < 0.01), higher rates of abnormal caloric tests (<i>p</i> < 0.05), higher canal paresis values (<i>p</i> < 0.001), and higher rates of deficient vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain in v-HIT (<i>p</i> < 0.001). After a 6-month follow-up, the pVND group showed lower DHI scores (<i>p</i> < 0.001) and higher cure rate (<i>p</i> < 0.001).ConclusionsIn general, patients in the tVND group showed a more severe disease and worse prognosis than those in the pVND group. The substitution of the term AUVP for VN is appropriate and aligns with the clinical characteristics of the cases. However, the diagnosis of AUVP should be further developed to include otolith organ dysfunction.</p>","PeriodicalId":49960,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vestibular Research-Equilibrium & Orientation","volume":" ","pages":"73-81"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143460256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
