Your ear is a complex system of bone and cartilage.
Vestibular balance testing equipment.
Within it is a network of canals.
These are called semicircular canals.
Along with standard static balance tests e3 diagnostics provides a full complement of cutting edge vestibular testing solutions that combine immersive virtual environments with dual balance force plate technology.
A vestibular test is done to evaluate your vestibular or balance system.
Patients who experience dizziness vertigo or other balance problems may have such a test.
What is vestibular balance disorder.
Our doctors use vestibular function tests to determine if problems with the inner ear are the cause of dizziness vertigo or imbalance.
The canals are filled with fluid.
The most sensitive test of vor function is a rotational chair.
We also provide a wide range of other types of audiology and balance screening equipment.
The obvious downside to rotational chair is the cost of equipment so it only makes financial sense in a practice dedicated to vestibular function testing.
This balance test measures the effectiveness of the somatosensory system vestibular system and vision to determine which area s to focus on when treating a balance disorder.
This test measures the response of hair cells in the inner ear when stimulated and can indicate the presence of a conductive or cochlear hearing loss.
Not only does it measure the vor at real life head speeds central compensation after a vestibular injury can be tracked over time.
Balance disorders can strike at any age but are most common as you get older.
If you are scheduling an appointment for a vestibular assessment please ask the patient scheduling representative you work with about how long testing will last.
