The visually enhanced vestibulo-ocular reflex (VVOR) and vestibulo-ocular reflex suppression (VOR-S) are critical in evaluating vestibular and cerebellar contributions to oculomotor control. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and reliability of metronome-synchronised, manual head rotation video-oculography for evaluating VVOR and VOR-S in healthy participants....
Clinicians without access to motorized rotary chair equipment may consider metronome-guided manual head rotation as a validated, low-cost alternative for assessing VVOR and VOR suppression, though replication in larger and more diverse samples is advisable before routine adoption.
Validating a low-tech method for vestibulo-ocular reflex assessment could democratize balance testing in clinics with limited equipment budgets.
