Aging effect and test-retest reliability of the sinusoidal harmonic acceleration test and velocity step test using nanotorque rotatory chair
Introduction
Rotatory chair testing has been used to evaluate horizontal canal function. Frequently used tests include sinusoidal harmonic acceleration test (SHAT) and velocity step test (VST).
Objectives
Assessment of age effect on the SHAT and VST and assessment of test-retest reliability of the parameters of those two tests.
Methods
A prospective study was performed on 100 subjects with no ear or vestibular complaints and normal vestibular evaluation. They were divided into two groups; Group A: below 50 years of age and Group B: 50 years of age or above. SHAT was presented at frequencies 0.02, 0.04, 0.08, 0.16, 0.32, 0.64 Hz with a peak velocity of 60°/s. VST was performed using a maximum velocity of 100°/s with acceleration and deceleration of 200°/s2. Thirty subjects were tested twice to assess reliability.
Results
Study participants ranged in age from 20 to 67 years. Regarding group A, the mean age was 30.92 ± 7.31 and 55.36 ± 4.61 for group B. No significant differences were found in SHAT parameters between the two groups. As well, there was no significant difference in VST per-rotatory time constant, however, post-rotatory time constant was significantly longer for Group B (P value < 0.05). Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values showed moderate to good reliability (ICC 0.580–0.818) for SHAT parameters for the lower frequencies and indicated moderate reliability for VST time constant (ICC 0.509–0.652).
Conclusions
Age has no significant effect on the parameters of SHAT and VST. Test-retest reliability is generally good for both tests.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Otology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes research findings from disciplines related to both clinical and basic science aspects of auditory and vestibular system and diseases of the ear. This journal welcomes submissions describing original experimental research that may improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying problems of basic or clinical significance and treatment of patients with disorders of the auditory and vestibular systems. In addition to original papers the journal also offers invited review articles on current topics written by leading experts in the field. The journal is of primary importance for all scientists and practitioners interested in audiology, otology and neurotology, auditory neurosciences and related disciplines. Journal of Otology welcomes contributions from scholars in all countries and regions across the world.
