An approach to quantify central vestibular compensation.
Central vestibular compensation is the ultimate goal for the dizzy patient. Monitoring spontaneous nystagmus and caloric responses are not usually correlated with the patient progress and cannot be objectively documented. On the other hand, Temporal Asymmetry Shift (TAS) is a more accurate and objective measure of central vestibular compensation. Furthermore, its dynamic pattern offers a reliable indicator to differentiate between peripheral and central vestibular dysfunctions.
