The major clinical advantage of computerized rotational testing is the ability to produce angular accelerations that can be precisely controlled and
repeated. Multiple stimuli of varying intensities can be applied to the vestibular system within a relatively shorttime. These tests allow evaluation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex and the optokinetic neural pathways in a manner that is not duplicated by alternative procedures.

To perform a VOR test, the movement of the chair must be as smooth as possible and without drift to avoid a directional preponderance. The GigaTorque (and all rotary chairs manufactured by Difra) are positionally controlled. So there is no drift in the movement, no vibration. The movement is also not disturbed by patient's movement on the chair.

The automatic Micro-centifugal system has the ability to precisely position patient’s right or left otolith organs over the axis of rotation. The seat is moved off axis by computer control even when rotating at 400 degrees per second. When rotating off yaw axis, centripetal acceleration stimulates the otolith organs resulting in a perception of tilt by subject.

The patient reaction is recorded by our VNG NysStar with the eye torsion detection.
