18 Rotational Vestibular Assessment
turntable upon which they mounted a second counterrolling table that was eccentrically posi­tioned 2 feet from the center axis of rotation on the main table (see Figure 1–14). Rotation of the table occurred such that, for every rotation of the main table, the second table completed one rotation, only in the opposite direction. Johnson claimed such an eccentric-driven table was capa­ble of producing horizontal nystagmus and, given enough time and research, could eventually be adopted for use in routine vestibular laboratory testing.
With the newly discovered corneoretinal potential, the analysis of rotationally induced nys­tagmus also advanced at an exponential rate. Mat­hog (1972) is credited with one of the first reports detailing the various response parameters ana­lyzed from the nystagmus during sinusoidal accel­eration testing (Goulson, McPherson, & Shepard,
2016). In his report, Mathog described rotational analysis parameters of directional preponderance and VOR gain in response to sinusoidal rotations delivered at low-, mid-, and high-frequency accel­erations. Such analyses bridged the way to cur­rent methods of sinusoidal rotational analysis. A few years prior, Wilmot (1966) was arguing for a thorough examination of the vestibular system to include rotational measures that detected thresh- old of motion perception. With a custom built rotational chair, Wilmot showed that vestibular threshold detection measures could reliably be obtained with the use of single-eye electroocu­lography (EOG) recordings. Electrooculography recordings were crude at that time. However, Dix, Hallpike, and Hood (1963) were improving cur­rent methods by introducing direct current ampli­fication to record both sustained eye deviations, as well as dynamic nystagmus movements. Despite using enhanced EOG recording methods, the idea to record vestibular threshold detection responses (much like auditory thresholds) was highly novel. Wilmot (1966) is also likely the first to describe the use of rotational testing as a screening tool to detect early pathological vestibular changes. In his report, Wilmot argued for the use of angular rotations to record threshold detection measures for the early identification of vestibular disease to promote early medical intervention (McNally & Stuart, 1967).
Since the 1970s, various manufacturers have increased the level of sophistication in signal processing, both in the recording of the ocular response (EOG versus videooculography, VOG), as well as in the delivery of the various rota­tional stimuli. Stimuli delivery was particularly improved when rotational chairs transitioned from DC- to AC-driven torque motors. Motors were now capable of delivering highly precise stimuli with little to no vibration noise indepen­dent of patient weight.
The military and aerospace divisions have long been given credit for a great deal of research using human centrifuges. William J. White pub­lished an elaborately illustrated work entitled A History of the Centrifuge in Aerospace Medicine in 1964, which describes the use of rotational systems to explore the effects of various environments on the human vestibular system. As early at 1935, the military and aerospace facilities led much of the way in the development and production of human centrifuge research. The Wright Field Centrifuge located in Riverside, Ohio, (Wilbur Wright Field, now part of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base) was the first human centrifuge constructed in North American (Figure 1–16). The largest and most powerful human centrifuge (even to this day) was constructed in 1950 in Warminster, Pennsylvania, at the Johnsville Naval Air Development Center (NADC) (Figure 1–17). With a 50-foot radius, the Johnsville Centrifuge was capable of producing 40 g while traveling at a velocity of 175 mph. Its use significantly impacted the success of aero­space missions, and functioned up until 2004, at which time the Johnsville Centrifuge facility was decommissioned. Although the facility has since been repurposed, much of the history (as well as the original Mercury 7 Johnsville gondola) has been preserved under the care of the Johnsville Centrifuge and Science Museum. Considered to be of equal notoriety to the Johnsville Centrifuge, the Karolinska Centrifuge in Stockholm, Sweden, was equally impressive, with a 40-foot radius capable of producing 30 g (Figure 1–18). Finally, Guedry, Kennedy, Harris, and Graybiel (1962) reported on the absence of any psychological or physiologic effects on four servicemen during a two-week exposure in the Pensacola Slow Rota­tion Room in Pensacola, Florida.

Between the 1970s and 1990s, clinical rota­tion research and the application of clinical rota­tional assessments also grew at an exponential rate. There were a number of proprietary rota­tional chairs at the time, as well as some commer­cially available clinical rotational chairs, that were designed and constructed with the sole purpose of evaluating the vestibular response. Such clini-
cal rotational chairs included the Tönnies appara­tus (Figure 1–19) and the ICS, Inc. rotational chair (Figure 1–20). Although the system processors were large, (see Figures 1–19 and 1–20), and the analysis often tedious and limited, (compared to current analysis standards), the stimuli and EOG recording methods were a vast improvement over the mid-twentieth century rotational suites.

ROTATIONAL TESTING IN
HE PRESENT DAY
T
Rotational test suites and the precision of rota­tional stimuli have continued to develop over the past two decades. In particular, vestibular test equipment in general has seen some of the fast­est development over the past decade alone. With the introduction of video head impulse testing (vHIT), as well as ocular vestibular evoked myo­genic potential (VEMP) testing, the comprehen­sive nature of vestibular testing has flourished. Advancements in rotational testing have similarly seen increased success. Some of these successes are reviewed in the final chapter when discussing the future advancement of rotational testing.
The current state of rotational testing employs exacting stimuli with high-grade, digital video­graphic displays, and extremely fast infrared video goggles, with ultra-precise digital sampling rates. Advanced research MOOG platforms (Moog, Inc., Buffalo, NY) (Figure 1–21) have significantly enhanced the delivery of highly specialized stim­uli that can be presented to the vestibular system. Furthermore, all data can now be recorded, mea­sured, and analyzed using specialized software algorithms that have tremendously enhanced our sensitivity to identify even more subtle ves­tibular dysfunction. Finally, highly specialized research rotational chairs, capable of rotating in all axes, (both horizontal and vertically), are greatly expanding our reach into vestibular sci­ence. Rotational test suites like the “Roto Tilt

Chair” at the University of Alabama (Figure 1–22) is one such device that will continue to challenge our understanding of vestibular responses for some time to come. Moreover, the advancement of human disorientation devices (HDDs), such as the GRYPHON GL-6000 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (Figure 1–23) continues to stretch the boundaries of what may seem humanly possible. Although designed for military and aerospace research and training, the application to medicine is never too far behind.
Although rotational chairs and human disori­entation devices, such as the “Roto Tilt Chair” and GRYPHON GL-6000, respectively, likely seemed implausible during the days of the simple Bárány chair, we must continue to remind ourselves that the physiology of the vestibular system is (if noth-
ing else) extraordinarily complex. We must be cognizant that just because a chair can be built, does not necessarily mean we will be able to fully understand the physiologic output. Ultimately, the complex physiologic response must still be correctly interpreted. The interpretation of such exceedingly complex results may appear to be an insurmountable challenge, particularly given the obstacles clinicians face with the interpretation of certain current rotational tests, such as OVAR test­ing (Chapter 8). Throughout the entire historical perspective of vestibular assessment, since the days of Ernst Mach and Robert Bárány, one thing has remained a fundamental and resolute truth — that a thorough understanding of vestibular anat­omy and physiology are essential to the under­standing and advancement of vestibular science.

Anatomy and Physiology of the
Peripheral Vestibular System
ROLE OF THE VESTIBULAR
SYSTEM: AN OVERVIEW
In more highly developed mammals, the primary responsibility of the vestibular system is to provide postural orientation for basic stabilization during movement (Gacek, 2005). Although this responsi­bility is shared and refined by the proprioceptive, autonomic reflex, and visual systems, the central vestibular pathways are integral to the synergistic coordination of the sensory information required for effective and efficient postural stability during movement, and at rest. The vestibular system is fundamental to postural stability and control dur­ing locomotion for most multicellular organisms. In light of this, it is no surprise that the vestibular system is one of the oldest central nervous system reflex pathways, both phylogenetically, as well as otogenetically (Gacek, 2005).
In humans, a secondary, but equally impor­tant, role of the vestibular system is to provide gaze stabilization of the visual environment dur­ing brief head movements. An accurate and effi­cient translation of head and body movement into neural signals must effectively be represented to the central nervous system for a subjective aware­ness of head and body movement in space. More-
over, the neural signals conveyed to the brain from the vestibular sense organs are paramount to producing compensatory eye movements during head movement in order to provide visual stability of a particular image on the retina. This is critical, because without such compensatory eye move­ments, a subsequent blurring and visual “jerking” of the visual field (known as oscillopsia) would occur with every movement of the head (Leigh & Zee, 2006). The vestibular system is primarily responsible for providing this effective visual sta­bilization during brief head movements, as well as maintaining successful posture and equilibrium.
PERIPHERAL VESTIBULAR
SYSTEM ANATOMY:
AN OVERVIEW
The vestibular system is located within the otic capsule, which is located within the petrous por­tion of each temporal bone. Within the otic cap­sule is the bony labyrinth of the inner ear, which is filled with perilymph, an extracellular fluid that is rich in sodium. Encased within the bony labyrinth is the membranous labyrinth where the cochlear and the vestibular sensory end organs are bathed
