The vHIT device, which has a mechanism based on measuring the VOR gain, helps us to quickly evaluate six semicircular canals.
AIMS/OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to establish normative values for semicircular canal function with the video head impulse test (vHIT) battery in normal adolescents.
100 (50 females, 50 males) individuals aged 11-18 years, with a mean age of 14.99 years, were included in the study.
As a result of the vHIT evaluations performed with vHIT Otometrics ICS Impulse A/S Taastrup, Denmark, the mean lateral canal vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain value was 0.96, the mean anterior canal VOR gain value was 0.89, and the mean posterior canal VOR gain value was 0.87, all of which were within the normal value range.
While the VOR gain values and asymmetry values are within the normal value range and are similar to the literature, no statistically significant correlation was observed between these values and age. As a result, the vHIT battery is an easy, fast, and practical test method that can be used in adolescents.
视频头脉冲测试(vHIT)设备基于测量前庭眼反射(VOR)增益的机制,有助于我们快速评估六条半规管。
本研究的目的是建立正常青少年视频头脉冲测试(vHIT)组合检查中半规管功能的正常值。
本研究纳入了100名年龄在11至18岁之间(平均年龄14.99岁)的个体,其中女性50名,男性50名。
使用丹麦Taastrup的vHIT Otometrics ICS Impulse A/S进行vHIT评估的结果显示,水平半规管前庭眼反射(VOR)增益的平均值为0.96,前半规管VOR增益的平均值为0.89,后半规管VOR增益的平均值为0.87,所有这些值均在正常范围内。
虽然VOR增益值和不对称值在正常范围内且与文献报道相似,但未观察到这些值与年龄之间存在统计学上的显著相关性。因此,vHIT组合检查是一种可用于青少年的简便、快速且实用的测试方法。
