| description | anomaly in the biphasic response elicited by loud clicks or tone bursts recorded from the tonically contracted sternocleidomastoid muscle; normally, acoustic stimulation of the saccule gives rise to a vestibulocollic reflex, the output of which can be measured in the neck as inhibition of activity in the ipsilateral sternocleidomastoid muscle; VEMP testing provides diagnostic information about saccular and/or inferior vestibular nerve function (assessment of balance disorders) |
