The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic capacity of three different rotatory tests, and to investigate the clinical effectiveness of the caloric, rotatory, and vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) test. DESIGN AND STUDY SAMPLE: Several rotatory tests--sinusoidal harmonic acceleration test (SHAT), pseudorandom rotation test (PRRT), velocity step test (VST)--and a caloric and a VEMP test, were given to 77 patients (mean age 52 years) with a unilateral peripheral vestibular pathology, and 80 control subjects (mean age 48 years).
