MAYA GONZALEZ, Juan Carlos; DUARTE-GUALTEROS, Jesús A  and  AVILES SANCHEZ, Oscar Fernando. DESIGN DEVICE FOR TAMPER DETECTION OF THE VESTIBULAR SYSTEM. Rev. ing. biomed. [online]. 2016, vol.10, n.19, pp.57-65. ISSN 1909-9762.

Vestibular disorders as the vertigo, with higher prevalence in the affected population, can be diagnosed using different tools including the dynamic vestibular acuity test. Test including at clinical level only the speed motorization of head without more tools to allow the specific diagnose of the horizontal semicircular canal bounded in the complete dynamic of movement. This article present a complete technologic tool to the development of the test, allowing the sensing of head movements in the x, y, z axis and the interaction with a graphical interface to evaluate the visual acuity, with found differences at the end of the implementation lower of 2% in flexion and inclination angles and of 4% to 15% to the maximum rotation angle.

Keywords : Accelerometer; Semicircular Canal; Gyroscope; Dynamic Visual Acuity Test.
