  4. Caloric Irrigator The Caloric test is the gold standard in vestibular testing for over 100 years. NeuroEquilibrium Caloric Irrigators are used in combination with the VNG machine to conduct caloric tests on patients with dizziness or balance disorders. Water Caloric Irrigator Provides water at specified flow of 500ml/min and fixed temperatures of 30o & 44o C. Air Caloric Irrigator Provides air at specified flow of 8 liters per minute and fixed temperatures of 24o & 50o C. The Air Caloric Irrigator is especially useful in cases of ear perforation and comes with an illuminated and magnified otoscope. Subjective Visual Vertical (SVV) For detection of abnormal subjective tilt Subjective Visual Vertical (SVV) is an investigation to evaluate the otolith system, which is responsible for perception of verticality. Static and dynamic SVV are important to: • Assess otolithic disorders • Assess chronic dizziness • Decide side of peripheral vestibular insult during the acute stage. • Diagnose compensated vestibular disorders. • Assess efect of rehabilitation Product Specifications • Tubular vision goggle with IMU • Measurment of head angle during testing to ensure correct head position Tests Conducted • Static SVV, head vertical • Static SVV, head inclined at 30 degrees • Dynamically moving background, head vertical

  5. Dynamic Visual Acuity (DVA) For screening of Vestibular impairment Dynamic Visual Acuity is used for: • Evaluation of the Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) • Early detection of Vestibulotoxicity • Detection of Bilateral Peripheral Vestibulopathy • Rehabilitation tool • Assessing outcome of rehabilitation How it works: DVA assesses the function of VOR in maintaining the image, on the fovea of the retina during head movement. Defective VOR results in slippage of the image resulting in blurring of vision. Craniocorpography (CCG) Fast and simple investigation NeuroEquilibrium Craniocorpography (CCG) evaluates the vestibulospinal reflex, which is responsible for maintenance of balance during gait testing. The protocols evaluated by CCG include: evaluates the vestibulospinal reflex, which is responsible for maintenance of balance during gait testing. • Romberg Test • Tandem Walking • Unterberger’s / Fukuda Test

  6. Computerized Stabilometry (Posturography) To evaluate postural control Stabilometry is an objective and functional evaluation of the postural control system in its steady-state behaviour. It is also a very good evaluation tool to measure the outcome of vestibular rehabilitation. It consists of the following tests: • Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction of Balance (mCTSIB) • Limits of Stability (LOS) • Rhythmic Weight Shift (RWS) • Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction of Balance (mCTSIB) Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) Computerized Dynamic Posturography is an objective and functional evaluation of the postural control system. It determines deficits in balance strategies and helps customize rehabilitation according to the patient’s requirements. It comprises of the following standard tests for assessment and treatment of patients with balance disorders :– Tests Included Sensory Organization Test (SOT) : It comprises of the following standard tests for assessment and treatment It objectively identifies abnormalities in the patient’s use of the three sensory systems that contribute to postural control - somatosensory, visual and vestibular. Motor Control Test (MCT) : Measures motor responses to unexpected perturbation. Quantification of motor strategies used to prevent falls. Adaptation Test (ADT) : Measures ability to regain balance on disruption of somatosensory input. Useful to teach stabilization strategies to prevent falls.

  8. GAIT Lab Human gait depends on a complex interplay of diferent systems, including the CNS, vestibular, and musculoskeletal systems. The unique NeuroEquilibrium Gait Lab harnesses the power of computer vision to analyse gait patterns. It helps in devising strategies for rehabilitation and provides an objective tool to follow up on the outcome of rehabilitation. The Gait lab accurately tracks the following parameters: • Step Length • Gait Cycle Duration • Stance (% of Gait Cycle) • Step Duration • Gait Speed • Stride Length • Double Support (% of Gait Cycle) • Swing (% of Gait Cycle) • Cadence • Arm Swing (per cycle) The deficit causing the impairment in gait can be quantified and the rehab outcome can be measured. This helps the clinician & therapist plan rehabilitation strategies. Useful in • Vestibular Disorders • Cerebellar Ataxia • Stroke • Gait Disorder Analysis • Sensory Ataxia • Parkinson’s Disease • Unsteadiness • Fall Risk Assessment Features • 3D reconstruction of patient's gait (sagittal plane) is generated without using markers • Two wide angle cameras with FOV of minimum 80 degrees, 60 fps • Patient's video is recorded in both frontal and sagittal plane with help of a front camera and a side mounted camera • Final video is created by concatenating input frame from both side camera and front camera

  9. Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP) This test is used to test otolith and vestibular nerve function. It is a short latency EMG potential evoked response to high level acoustic stimuli: Useful in • Vestibular Neuritis • Superior Semi-circular Canal Dehiscence (SSCD) • Meniere’s Disease • Demyelinating Disorders Specifica�ons • Number of channels : 2 • Stimulus : Clicks, Air conduction earphones • Sound Intensity - 90 dB nHL • Stimulus frequency - 5.1 Hz • Automated VEMP ratio calculation • Automatic calculation of Interaural diference of P1 Latency, Interaural diference of N1 Latency, Interaural diference of P1- N1 Inter amplitude, Side Ratio L/R, Asymmetrical Ratio (%) • VEMP box with 4 sets of electrodes, VEMP Software

  10. BPPV Maneuver Guidance System Canalith repositioning maneuvers (CRM) are highly efective in the treatment of BPPV. For each involved canal, the appropriate repositioning maneuvers should be performed. For posterior canal BPPV, maneuvers like Epley or Semont are recommended; for horizontal canal BPPV, 360⁰ Roll, Zuma or Gufoni Maneuver are recommended; for anterior canal, BPPV Modified Yacovino maneuver is used. The BPPV Maneuver Guidance System provides information to the clinician about the angle and plane of the head at each step of the repositioning maneuver. The guidance system gives visual feedback about the head angulation and allows the clinician to proceed to the next step only after achieving the desired head position. Each step of the BPPV maneuvers is displayed on a screen, using a 3D model of the human body. Head Orientation is measured with a head band with custom-made sensors (the “tracker”). The system is configured with a waiting period of 30 seconds between each step of the maneuver. This waiting period ensures that the debris reach the desired position in the canal before proceeding to the next step. • BPPV Maneuver Guidance system provides a step-by-step visual guidance for the care giver to carry out the maneuvers for BPPV. The device calculates the angle at each step. Maneuvers- Features- • An animated model of human body which shows the desired head and body movement for each step. ?
