Vestibular Assessments
Vestibular assessments are tests used to evaluate the function of your inner ear balance system (the vestibular system) and how it interacts with your brain and eyes. These assessments help diagnose causes of dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, and unexplained falls.
Why They're Done
Vestibular assessments help diagnose conditions like:
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
- Vestibular neuritis/labyrinthitis
- Meniere’s disease
- Vestibular migraine
- Bilateral vestibular loss
- Central balance disorders (e.g., stroke, multiple sclerosis)
