Fifty ear-sound adolescents were rotated by constant acceleration and deceleration. These investigations yielded three results. 1. The nystagmus of acceleration and deceleration period permits a more exact statement about rotation irritability of peripheral vestibular organ than the per-rotatoric fading nystagmus during constant rotation. 2. The stop out of constant rotation causes only a fading nystagmus, the postrotatorius I. Consequently, deceleration should substitute the stop with regard to its greater exactness. 3. Statistical comparison shows that electronystagmograms of acceleration and deceleration correspond to electronystagmograms of right and left rotation. Therefore, the clinical rotation test is practicable with only one direction of rotation. In this case, deceleration has to be of the same strength and duration as the acceleration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
