cVEMP Measures in Adolescents

Sunday, 8:15am to 9:15am
Room 60
Session 54
cVEMPs in both seated with head turned and supine with head lifted conditions were measured in 20 adolescents. cVEMP parameters were analyzed for age and neck length effects. A significant relationship between the P1 latency and neck length was found. Additionally, a significant difference in amplitude asymmetry ratios was found between measurement conditions. Structural variances in adolescents should be considered during cVEMP testing. Additionally, bilateral cVEMP recording without the use of an EMG control is efficacious in this population.
