Abstract

This invention provides a device and methods of using a device for evaluating the vestibular function in a subject. The device comprises a head movement measuring device, an eye rotation measuring device to measure rotation of the eye relative to movement of the head and a comparing device for comparing subject head measurements and eye rotations to reference data. Such a comparison can aid or generate the formation of a diagnosis of a disorder, especially disorders of vestibular function.
