@olshin84 might be a lil late but i just saw this video. the patient will turn to the side of lesion. so basically, if there is a peripheral lesion, the patient will rotate to the affected side. translation of >50cm or rotation of >40 degrees is significant. as for central lesion, the deviation is irregular.
@olshin84 there are many factors that can constitute a lesion. vestibular nerve damage, damage to the labyrinth etc... that's for peripheral lesion. a central lesion would be an insult to the vestibular nucleus, such as a brainstem stroke.
the positive indicate vestibular deficit. (like you said).
but can you explain in more in detail?
unilateral vestibular nerve loss firing action potential? is thatright?
and turn in to good side ?
