EXCERPTS FROM AAN SPECIAL ARTICLE ASSESSMENTS: ELECTRONYSTAGMOGRAPHY

A REPORT OF THE THERAPEUTICS AND TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT SUBCOMMITTEE PUBLISHED IN NEUROLOGY 1996 (46:1763-1766).

Executive summary page 1705 quotes the following, "VNG is considered an established vestibular ocular function test, which is both safe and effective." This review of electronystagmography based on class 3 evidence.

A REVIEW OF THE SPECIAL ARTICLE ASSESSMENT; VESTIBULAR TESTING TECHNIQUES IN ADULTS AND CHILDREN, REPORT OF THERAPEUTIC AND TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF NEUROLOGY, PUBLISHED NEUROLOGY 2000 (55:1431-1441).

"Infrared Video Nystagmography" is a method of determining eye movements, which utilizes infrared cameras to detect movements of the eyes. These eye movements are recorded by EOG. Rotational head testing does not depend on effectiveness of thermal energy transfer of the middle ear (as opposed to calorics). Rotational testing can be done either in a passive fashion or active with a rotational chair. It is noted that there is a high degree of correlation in the ("passive") head movement and with the rotational chairs ("active"), which are especially in good in patients with bilateral disease and those with ototoxicity.

The overall assessment of vestibular responses has been that it is an "acceptable technique."

The report says "quantitative vestibular testing, whether caloric or rotational, may be used as a confirmatory test to clinical history and examination when the symptoms are suggestive of vestibular dysfunction.

The above AAN Scientific Affairs committee articles are formally published statements to the American Academy of Neurology showing that this VNG technology is safe and effective, but requires individuals (ACPs) who will be trained and knowledgeable in their use.


Scott Sand, CEO & Chairman of Ingen Technologies, stated, “ It is a prestigious honor to support the American Academy of Neurology. This is the fastest growing medical product for this industry. With an increasing elderly population in the United States, the neurologist can provided balance and fall prevention services to their patients at a reasonable cost. With use of the Secure Balance™ products, helping patient’s regain their balance also substantially reduces Medicare costs for fall related injuries. These fall related injuries are prevented through the use of the Secure Balance™ products and therapy programs. More important is that the patient has a more healthier and active lifestyle.”
