[Diagnostic role of vestibular recruitment and nystagmic parameters].

Electronystagmographic examination of 45 patients with peripheral and 22 patients with central lesions of the vestibular system was performed, using graded caloric and rotatory stimulation of labyrinths. It was demonstrated that functional and topical diagnosis of vestibular problems can be made with the aid of righting reflexes and vestibular recruitment. In this situation, it is important not only to detect the righting reflex but also to determine the nystagmic parameters, in which it is manifested, and to identify the pattern of nystagmic asymmetry and the stage of compensation of vestibular dysfunction.
