AI Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the static subjective visual vertical (SVV) in 24 healthy volunteers using preset angles of 10, 20, and 30 degrees.
- The results indicated that the SVV was significantly influenced by the side of the preset angle but not the degree of deviation.
- A test-retest analysis showed group-level stability in SVV outcomes, but notable individual variability was observed, with ICC values ranging from -0.240 to 0.508.
Article Abstract
The static subjective visual vertical (SVV) was assessed in 24 healthy volunteers with different preset angles (i.e., 10, 20, and 30 degrees), and in 20 other volunteers, the static SVV was tested and retested 1 week later. The static SVV results are influenced by the side of the preset angle (Wilcoxon test, ≤ 0.001), but not by the preset angle deviation. The test-retest static SVV outcomes are stable at a group level; however, they show statistically relevant variability at an individual level (-0.240 ≤ intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] ≤ 0.508). A robust static SVV protocol is described in this paper.

Introduction: The thalamus regulates various sensory information to each related brain area. The vestibular nucleus transmits information of motor control to the thalamus regulating coordination function. The vestibulothalamic tract (VTT) is a neural pathway between the vestibular nucleus and thalamus that processes vestibular information for postural balance and spatial perception.

Background: Dizziness and balance disturbances are common in patients with MS. Subjective visual vertical (SVV) is a test of vestibular perception that allows clinicians to evaluate the integration of multiple sensory inputs for spatial orientation in the CNS. We hypothesize that central vestibular impairment caused by active MS lesions may be reflected in the modified SVV testing.

: Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) is a frequent diagnosis in patients with chronic dizziness, ineffective postural control, visual dependence, and emotional symptoms. : 53 patients with PPPD (25-84 years old) and 53 adults (29-84 years old) with no vestibular disease agreed to participate in this study. Assessments included: vestibular function tests (sinusoidal yaw rotation and vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials); accuracy and precision of Subjective Visual Vertical (SVV) estimation while static and during on-axis yaw rotation; static posturography with open/closed eyes and 30° neck extension, while standing on hard/soft surface; questionnaires on symptoms of unsteadiness, spatial anxiety, dizziness-related handicap, anxiety/depression, depersonalization/derealization, and perceived stress.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used a smartphone-based virtual reality system to measure dynamic and static subjective visual vertical (SVV) among 40 older adults, assessing the reliability of these measurements through retests after one week.
- * Results show that the dynamic SVV and visual dependency (VD) had good to excellent test-retest reliability, demonstrating that the smartphone VR method is a portable and effective tool for clinical applications in understanding balance issues in older adults.

The inner ear is responsible for balance and auditory function. Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) affects auditory function across various age groups. Vestibular apparatus, particularly the otolith organ can also be affected in cases of SNHL because of the close proximity of the otolith organs with the cochlea inside the bony labyrinth.
