Balance and Vestibular Center

The Balance and Vestibular Center at Associated Neurologists offers an individualized approach to the evaluation and management of vestibular disorders.  Using state-of-the-art technology, our caring professionals provide thorough evaluation, testing, and diagnosis and establish treatment specifically.

We offer the most technologically advanced testing equipment available for the screening and diagnosis of balance and vestibular disorders.  All tests are administered by experienced ENG technicians under the supervision of board-certified neurologists. 

  •  Computerized Platform Posturography (CPP) assesses balance problems through the detection of vestibular weakness and measurement of standing ability.
  • Vestibular Autorotation Testing (VAT) evaluates the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), which is responsible for stabilizing images on the retina when the head is moving. 
  • Electronystagmography (ENG) evaluates involuntary eye movements known as nystagmus, which can be a normal response or may result from vestibular or central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction.  
  • Auditory Evoked Potentials (AEP) measure the auditory nerve’s response to stimulation.  AEP may help to distinguish auditory nerve dysfunction from damage of the brainstem’s auditory pathways. 

  • Otoacoustic Emission (OAE) records sounds produced from within the inner ear in response to acoustic stimuli.
