Essentials of Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials

This accessible guide introduces Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMPs) — essential tests for diagnosing balance disorders affecting the inner ear.

Documenting basic anatomy to step-by-step procedures to bridge the gap between theory and practical application, this guidebook equips its readers to implement VEMPs in clinical practice confidently. The volume provides clear recording protocols and interpretation guidelines covering all three VEMP types: cervical, ocular, and the newer masseter VEMPs. It also presents an extensive collection of real patient case studies with actual test results and straightforward explanations.

Written for healthcare professionals and students, this book transforms complex concepts into practical knowledge. It will appeal to audiologists, ENT specialists, neurologists, and physical therapists specializing in vestibular rehabilitation who seek to enhance their diagnostic understanding of balance disorders. Graduate students in audiology, medicine, and neuroscience programs will also find this an invaluable resource for understanding the clinical applications of vestibular testing in their future practice.
