Patent

CA 2382156

A method is disclosed for evaluating the vestibular function in a human subject. The subject is constrained in a substantially erect position so that the head moves in unison with the rest of the body. A controlled stimulus in the form of a sudden angular acceleration is imparted to the body, and the subject's ocular response to the controlled stimulus is measured. The vestibular function is evaluated from the ocular response and the angular velocity of the head.

L'invention concerne une méthode d'évaluation de la fonction vestibulaire chez des sujets humains. Cette méthode consiste à maintenir le sujet dans une position sensiblement droite de façon que la tête se déplace en même temps que le reste du corps, à transmettre un stimulus régulé sous forme de brusque accélération angulaire au corps, à mesurer la réponse oculaire du sujet au stimulus et à évaluer la fonction vestibulaire à partir de la réponse oculaire et de la vitesse angulaire de la tête.
