Keywords: | Acceleration magnitude; Bone-conducted vibration; Ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP) | Issue Date: | 2012 | Journal Volume: | 516 | Journal Issue: | 1 | Start page/Pages: | 75-78 | Source: | Neuroscience Letters | Abstract: | This study combined bone-conducted vibration (BCV) stimulation with triaxial accelerometry to correlate the acceleration magnitudes of BCV stimuli with ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP) test results. Fourteen healthy volunteers underwent oVEMP test using BCV stimuli with simultaneous monitoring the triaxial acceleration. All (100%) subjects exhibited clear oVEMPs in response to BCV stimuli from a vibrator. The lowest acceleration magnitudes for eliciting oVEMPs along the . x-, . y- and . z-axes were 0.05. ±. 0.01. g, 0.16. ±. 0.08. g, and 0.04. ±. 0.01. g, respectively, exhibiting significantly higher acceleration magnitude along the . y-axis than those along the . x- and . z-axes. In addition, significantly positive correlations were noted between the acceleration magnitude along each axis and the oVEMP amplitude. In conclusion, measuring the acceleration magnitude throughout oVEMP testing revealed a significant correlation between linear acceleration and oVEMP responses. Restated, increasing acceleration magnitude may have more synchronization of firing of vestibular afferents, resulting in more synchronized evoked potentials and greater oVEMP amplitude. ? 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. |
