As part of the diagnostic workup for a client's long-standing vertigo, a clinician wants to gauge the eye movements that occur in the client. Which of the following tests is the clinician most likely to utilize?
A)
Romberg test
B)
Rotational tests
C)
Electronystagmography (ENG)
D)
Caloric stimulation
Ans:
C
Feedback:
ENG is an examination that records eye movements in response to vestibular, visual, cervical (vertigo triggered by somatosensory input from head and neck movements), rotational, and positional stimulation. With ENG, the velocity, frequency, and amplitude of spontaneous or induced nystagmus and the changes in these measurements brought by a loss of fixation, with the eyes open or closed, can be quantified. The Romberg test, rotational tests, and caloric stimulation do not allow for these data.
