Article Synopsis
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant cause of mortality and disability in the U.S., and the peripheral vestibular system may be particularly at risk for damage in those with TBI.
- A study utilized cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) and video head impulse tests (vHIT) to assess vestibular function and quality of life among individuals with chronic moderate-severe TBI compared to non-injured participants.
- Results indicated that a high percentage (63%) of TBI patients exhibited abnormal VEMP responses and reported vestibular symptoms, with many indicating these symptoms adversely affected their quality of life, underscoring the importance of vestibular testing for effective rehabilitation.
