Abstract: Recently oVEMP testing is used to evaluate the function of utricle, with recording from contralateral ocular muscle. Aim of the present study was to see test retest reliability of oVEMP response. A total of 40 normal healthy participants were included for the present study and they underwent oVEMP testing for three recording sessions i.e. test, intra test and inter test sessions.
Excellent and near excellent reliability was obtained for both latencies, and n1-p1 peak to peak amplitude. Thus it can be concluded from the current research study that VEMP testing procedures are reliable in normal hearing individuals across, within and between test recordings.
Keywords: Utricle, Ocular, Amplitude, Latency.
