Valeria Isaac - Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials in Attention Deficit Disorder | ISIC2022

In this presentation, Valeria Isaac delves into the intricate relationship between the vestibular system and sensory integration, highlighting how all our senses function through movement. She explains the deep connection between the vestibular and auditory systems, emphasizing their shared structural and functional similarities. The focus then shifts to her research on Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP) in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). She also discusses the importance of standardized testing methods to ensure reliable results and addresses the methodological challenges in comparing studies. Isaac concludes by suggesting that a notable portion of children with ADHD may have underlying vestibular issues, calling for further research to explore this connection and the effects of treatments on vestibular responses.
