At a series of seminars at leading universities around the UK, key UK Balance specialists supported by our skilled
instructors will introduce the underlying theory behind Head Impulse and VEMP testing. The Masterclass will also
allow for hands-on experience with the new video Head Impulse Testing device ICS Impulse designed in collaboration
with Ian Curthoy’s and Michael Halmagyi’s laboratory at the University of Sydney and ICS Chartr EP 200.
Over recent years there has been an increasing interest in VEMP testing to investigate saccular and utricular function.
Between these two tests we are now able to more thoroughly investigate the different aspects of the vestibular system
and this is the main theme of the day.
Sign up today as there are only limited places available!
