Unsurpassed diagnostic precision in less than 10 minutes
In addition to providing an accurate, objective measure of the vestibulo-ocular reflex, the ICS Impulse allows clinicians to test patients with spontaneous nystagmus. Both overt and covert saccades can be detected allowing for proper diagnosis and rehabilitation recommendations. The vestibular function of both ears can be assessed and documented in less than 10 minutes from patient entry to reporting.

What is Head Impulse Testing?
An ear-specific test that detects disorders of the vestibulo-ocular reflex and identifies which ear is affected in cases of peripheral vestibular loss. Patients with a vestibular loss will exhibit a corrective saccadic eye movement (a “catch-up” saccade) either during or after the head impulse and the gain of the head in comparison to the eye will not be equivalent.
