Investigation of Positional and Positioning Nystagmus by Using a New Type of Electrically-Driven Rotation Table

Abstract

The different methods for investigating positional and positioning nystagmus are presented and discussed. The latest results concerning the interaction between the utricles and the horizontal semicircular canals are given and, based on these findings, a new electrically-driven rotation table for investigating positional and positioning nystagmus is demonstrated. The mode of stimulation and the predictable, normal results are presented.
