AbstractObjectiveTo examine the correlation of video head impulse test, functional head impulse test and Dizziness Handicap Inventory results in patients with chronic unilateral vestibular loss, and to compare the results with healthy controls.MethodsForty-eight patients diagnosed with chronic unilateral vestibular loss and 35 healthy individuals, aged 18–65 years, were included. The video head impulse test, functional head impulse test and Dizziness Handicap Inventory were administered.ResultsA significant positive correlation was found between functional head impulse test and video head impulse test results for the study group in all semicircular canals (p < 0.05). There was no significant correlation between Dizziness Handicap Inventory, functional head impulse test and video head impulse test results (p > 0.05). The functional head impulse test and video head impulse test results of the control group were significantly higher than those of the study group in all semicircular canals planes (p < 0.05).ConclusionIn chronic unilateral vestibular loss patients, with high head accelerations, the functional head impulse test indicates deterioration in vestibulo-ocular reflex functionality. It would be beneficial to include the video head impulse test and functional head impulse test in clinical practice as complementary tests in vestibulo-ocular reflex evaluation.
