Sound, Vibration, and the Vestibular System with Ian Curthoys

This interview was a treat! Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT and Dr. Abbie
Ross, PT, NCS are joined by our listener favorite Jeff Walter,
PT, DPT, NCS to talk to Ian Curthoys, Professor Emeritus. This
discussion covers different ways sound and vibration can
stimulate the vestibular system, and how it can be used for
diagnostic purposes at bedside.





If Ian Curthoys' name sounds familiar... it's because it should!
In 1988 Halmagyi and Curthoys introduced a subjective test
of semicircular canal function—the head impulse test (HIT)! Read
