Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) often complain of dysequilibrium that is nonspecific. The basis of this complaint is unknown but may be related to vestibular system abnormalities, in that an association between inner-ear deficits and infectious mononucleosis has been established in the medical literature. An overview of quantitative vestibular function testing is given, including vestibulo-ocular and vestibulospinal tests. The basic principles of caloric and rotational testing are provided, including the interaction between vision and the vestibular system. Moving-platform posturography is described. Preliminary results from quantitative vestibular function testing of a small group of individuals with CFS are provided.
慢性疲劳综合征（CFS）患者常诉说有非特异性的平衡失调。这种主诉的原因尚不清楚，但可能与前庭系统异常有关，因为医学文献中已证实内耳功能缺陷与传染性单核细胞增多症之间存在关联。本文概述了定量前庭功能测试，包括前庭眼反射和前庭脊髓反射测试。介绍了冷热试验和旋转试验的基本原理，包括视觉与前庭系统之间的相互作用。描述了移动平台姿势描记法。还提供了一小群CFS患者定量前庭功能测试的初步结果。
