This series of articles for rehabilitation in practice aims to cover a knowledge element of the
rehabilitation medicine curriculum. Nevertheless they are intended to be of interest to a …

Disease-specific oculomotor assessments play a crucial role in the early diagnosis of
hereditary cerebellar ataxias. Whereas several studies have reported on quantitative …

Isolated floccular infarction is extremely rare, and impairments of the vestibulo-ocular reflex
(VOR) have not been explored in humans with isolated floccular lesions. The purpose of this …

Objective: We sought to quantify and compare angular vestibulo-ocular reflex (aVOR) gain
and compensatory saccade properties elicited by the head impulse test (HIT) in pontine …

Downbeat nystagmus is a frequent ocular motor sign in patients with lesions of the
vestibulocerebellum. The upward drift in downbeat nystagmus is a combination of a gaze …

A significant number of patients with bilateral vestibulopathy suffer from cerebellar ataxia
and central vestibular symptoms and vice versa. We examined 31 patients presenting with …

The objective of this study was to compare the findings of the bedside head-impulse test
(HIT), passive head rotation gain, and caloric irrigation in patients with cerebellar ataxia …

To determine age-related changes, the initial horizontal vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) of 11
younger normal subjects (aged 20–32 years) was compared with that of 12 older subjects …

In spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6), the vestibular dysfunction and its correlation with
other clinical parameters require further exploration. We determined vestibular responses …

LW Schultheis and DA Robinson showed that the axis of the rotational vestibuloocular reflex
(RVOR) cannot be altered by visual-vestibular mismatch (“cross-axis adaptation”) when the …
