Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: This study investigated the development of otolithic-ocular reflex in small children (2 years. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the well-developed caloric and cervical VEMP responses in early life, oVEMPs are not present in newborns, but are present in children aged >2 years who can walk with a gait resembling an adult. Maturation of the otolithic-ocular reflex is important to balance control, which is necessary in small children for independent gait.
