“…A recent study looking at patients with neck pain found that subjects with asymmetry in upper cervical rotation range of motion had greater balance deficits than the patients who had symmetrical range of motion deficits (Quek et al, 2013). This idea would concur with studies where SVV errors are elevated in subjects with unilateral vestibular pathology with greater errors seen ipsilateral to the side of the pathology (Min et al, 2007;Kumagami et al, 2009). A limitation of this current study was that neither asymmetry of pain location nor asymmetry of movement deficits was sought.…”

“…It is consistently reported in the literature that the upper end of the SVV line tilts toward the affected ear, shifted by several degrees with respect to the gravitational axis (4,9,10,27,30). This finding is in agreement with the present study, where, despite bilateral involvement and large variations in tilts, most of the final mean numerical SVV tilts tilted toward the patients' most affected ears.…”

“…SVV tilts are a sensitive sign of vestibular dysfunction. The signs can be present in either peripheral or central disorders and can be located at any level of the vestibular pathway from the labyrinth to the vestibular cortex (4,5,10,13). …”

OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to assess the subjective visual vertical in patients with bilateral vestibular dysfunction and to propose a new method to analyze subjective visual vertical data in these patients.METHODS:Static subjective visual vertical tests were performed in 40 subjects split into two groups. Group A consisted of 20 healthy volunteers, and Group B consisted of 20 patients with bilateral vestibular dysfunction. Each patient performed six measurements of the subjective visual vertical test, and the mean values were calculated and analyzed.RESULTS:Analyses of the numerical values of subjective visual vertical deviations (the conventional method of analysis) showed that the mean deviation was 0.326±1.13° in Group A and 0.301±1.87° in Group B. However, by analyzing the absolute values of the subjective visual vertical (the new method of analysis proposed), the mean deviation became 1.35±0.48° in Group A and 2.152±0.93° in Group B. The difference in subjective visual vertical deviations between groups was statistically significant (p<0.05) only when the absolute values and the range of deviations were considered.CONCLUSION:An analysis of the absolute values of the subjective visual vertical more accurately reflected the visual vertical misperception in patients with bilateral vestibular dysfunction.

“…To accurately orient the luminous line, subjects must completely compensate for any changes in eye position such as torsional eye movements. In the present study, all values of SVV measured by monocular and binocular eyes in normal subjects were within the normal range defined by our previous study using normal controls (10). In humans, gravitational information is stored in the vestibular system and internal estimation to gravitational movement is constructed.…”

Objectives: To investigate the possibility to omit the time-consuming monocular vision measurement in the subjective visual vertical (SVV) test by demonstrating there is no difference in the results between binocular and monocular measurements.Patients: Thirty-one patients with unilateral vestibular schwannoma and twenty normal subjects as controls.Intervention: Both binocular and monocular measurements of SVV were performed. Main outcome measure: Difference in the results of SVV between binocular and monocular measurements.Results: There were no significant differences in the tilts of the SVV between binocular and monocular measurements in vestibular schwannoma patients as well as in the controls. Conclusion:Abnormal tilts of SVV may be evaluated precisely only by binocular vision instead of monocular vision.

Subjective Visual Vertical in Acute Attacks of Ménière's Disease

Abstract: Conclusion:Otolith dysfunction occurred in acute attacks in a considerable number of patients with Meniere's disease. SVV can be utilized as a good tool for the evaluation of otolith dysfunction at acute attacks in patients with Meniere's disease.
