title: [Electronystagmography of sudden head impulses (head-only impulsive rotational testing, head thrust test, head impulse test)].
abstract: The basis of the head-thrust test is when a head thrust is done in the horizontal plane, the ipsilateral semicircular canal is the only which gets the gaze stabilization, being the other HSC completely inhibited. In this paper are investigated the ENG records according the test and analyzed the main parameters obtained. As conclusion we admit that the main parameters are the compensating ocular movements amplitude and their latencies.
