Balance, Vertigo and Dizziness

The vestibular system controls our sense of balance and motion.  Infections, medication and head injuries from an accident can cause an imbalance of neural activity in the vestibular system.  These can result in a perception of spinning, nausea, light headedness, unsteadiness and a tendency to fall over.

​

There are many tests that can be undertaken to investigate the causes and possible treatment paths.  Here are some of the tests that Medico-Legal can arrange for your Claimants:

​

VNG Videonystagmography

VNG is a series of tests to assesses the inner ear function as it measures the movements of the eyes directly through infrared cameras.  The Claimant remains comfortable and relaxed for accurate testing.  The test can decipher between a unilateral and bilateral vestibular problem by monitoring the eye movements.  The test can last 1.5 hours.

​

Dix Hallpike and Epley Manoever

These tests are used to diagnose and treat positional vertigo.  The Claimant has to lie on the treatment bed and the ENT or Audio Vetibular Physician will observe the Claimants eyes after moving the head into a number of positions.

​

VHIT Video Head Impulse Testing

This test is to diagnose the reduction in vestibular function in one ear vs the other.  The test involves accelerating and decelerating the head, moving the head rapidly and then stopping it. The Claimant will wear goggles with a camera to capture the eye movement during testing.  This assesses all the vertical canals.

​

PTA Pure Tone Audiogram

A pure tone audiogram or hearing test normally takes 15 minutes.  The Claimant will wear headphones and listen to a series of pure tones, pressing the responder button whenever they hear a new tone.  This will identify the Claimants hearing thresholds.

​

Audio Vestibular Therapy

Following assessment, every Claimants treatment program is unique to them.  This could incorporate physical exercises with a Physician.  Or they could be further rehabilitation with the Audio Vestibular Specialist.

Please note, it’s recommended Claimants do not drive to or from balance appointments.
