    A minimal vestibular ocular reflex (VOR) response amplitude is necessary for visual-vestibular (VVOR) compensation in patients with vestibular disorders. Vestibulospinal function compensation may not always accompany VOR or VVOR compensation.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Ophthalmology
    • Audiology

    Background:

    • Vestibular abnormalities significantly impact daily life, necessitating lifestyle modifications and often preventing return to work.
    • Understanding the minimal residual vestibular function for compensation is crucial for patient rehabilitation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the minimum residual vestibular function required for compensation in patients with vestibular disorders.
    • To investigate the relationship between different vestibular functions and their compensation mechanisms.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied three groups of patients with varying degrees of vestibular loss (unilateral, bilateral, abnormal horizontal canal-vestibulo-ocular reflex).
    • Utilized vestibuloocular reflex (VOR), optokinetic (OKN), visual-VOR (VVOR), and computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) tests.

  • Performed assessments before and after therapeutic interventions.

    • Main Results:

    • A minimum VOR response amplitude is essential for VVOR function compensation.
    • The roles of VOR and OKN phase shifts in vestibular compensation are complex and warrant further investigation.
    • Compensation of vestibulospinal function does not consistently correlate with VOR or VVOR compensation.

    Conclusions:

    • Minimal VOR amplitude is a key factor for VVOR compensation.
    • Vestibular compensation mechanisms may differ for ascending and descending pathways, potentially involving distinct sensory inputs.
    • Findings have significant implications for diagnosing and treating vestibular disorders, guiding therapeutic selections and monitoring.
