Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential

Abstract

Originally, vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) were recorded on cervical muscles, especially the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), in regard to air-conducted sound [1, 2]. However, there were some limitations of this test. To overcome these limitations, variants of VEMP analysis have been proposed and are classified into two categories: variants stimulation methods and recording methods.
