Objective: To evaluate otolith function by comparing the findings of the Subjective Visual Vertical, the cervical Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential and the ocular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential tests in patients in the inter-crisis period of unilateral definite Meniere's disease.
Methods: The sample consisted of an experimental group (n=22; 10 men and 12 women, mean age 47.32±12.

Introduction: Otolith function can be studied by testing the subjective visual vertical, because the tilt of the vertical line beyond the normal range is a sign of vestibular dysfunction. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is a disorder of one or more labyrinthine semicircular canals caused by fractions of otoliths derived from the utricular macula.
Objective: To compare the subjective visual vertical with the bucket test before and immediately after the particle repositioning maneuver in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
Introduction: Dizziness is one of the most common symptoms among the population, producing numerous consequences for individual's quality of life. There are some questionnaires that can trace the patient's profile and quality of life impairment from dizziness, including the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and the Visual Vertigo Analogue Scale (VVAS).
Objective: This study aims to correlate the results of the DHI and VVAS in patients with vestibular dysfunction.
Introduction: The capacity of a healthy individual to estimate the true vertical in relation to the Earth when a fluorescent line is aligned in a completely dark room is called the subjective visual vertical.
Objective: To evaluate subjective visual vertical using the bucket method in healthy Brazilian individuals.
Methods: Binocular subjective visual vertical was measured in 100 healthy volunteers, 50 females and 50 males.
