Subjective Visual Vertical

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Subjective Visual Vertical (SVV) is a diagnostic vestibular test to detect abnormal subjective tilt. It investigates the function of utricle in otolith system of inner ear to evaluate the perception of verticality. This test is also called Bucket Test.[1]

Technique and Usage

This test is conducted in a dark room where a patient sits and employs a remotely controlled laser projection line and adjusts it to his perceived horizontal or vertical position.[2] It is used for the following objectives[3]:

  • Diagnosis of vestibular disorders
  • To assess the effectiveness of vestibular rehabilitation in patients suffering from vertigo
  • Assessment of chronic dizziness and other otholithc disorders
  • Differentiation between peripheral and central vestibular disorders
