vestibular testing

Neurology A battery of clinical tests for evaluating the neural component of the vestibular system in Pts with dysequilibrium, dizziness, loss of balance, nystagmus; VTs evaluate both the 'mechanical'–ie, the vestibule per se, and the 'neural processing' components–cerebellum
of the vestibular system; alcohol, sedatives, tranquilizers are withheld for
2–3 days before VTs. See Nystagmus, Vertigo, Vestibule.
