Assessment of Radial Pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Vestibular Science

Background:

  • Manual head impulse testing (HIT) has limitations in assessing the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR).
  • Accurate VOR assessment is crucial for diagnosing dizziness and balance disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel computerized rotational head impulse test (crHIT).
  • To overcome limitations of manual HIT and provide a reliable measure of unilateral horizontal semicircular canal function.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a computer-controlled rotational chair for whole-body, earth-vertical axis yaw impulsive rotations.
  • Measured eye movements using video-oculography during the crHIT.
  • Compared crHIT results with caloric testing in patients with dizziness and control subjects.

Main Results:

  • The horizontal crHIT was well-tolerated by participants.
  • crHIT provided an estimate of unidirectional VOR gain comparable to caloric testing.
  • Demonstrated reliability in measuring unilateral horizontal semicircular canal function.

Conclusions:

  • The horizontal crHIT is a new, reliable assessment tool for VOR function.
  • This method overcomes limitations associated with manual HIT.
  • Provides a laboratory-based measure of unilateral horizontal semicircular canal function for dizziness evaluation.
