Abstract:The cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) was assessed in 24 women and 24 men having a mean age of 19.5 years (SD 0.7). Whilst there was no group difference in VEMP peak to trough (p1-n1) amplitude, VEMP p1-n1 latency was found to be shorter for women than for men by 2.4 ms (95% CI [-0.9, -3.9], chi squared (1) 9.6, p = 0.0020). This equates to 21% of the mean 11.4 ms VEMP p1-n1 latency across women and men. It is a reversal of findings in several prior studies, which are reviewed here. Statisti… Show more
