This text will serve as a simple and straightforward text that explains what you need to know about these tests. Included are: indications for balance function testing, what these tests can and cannot reveal, the basics on how they are performed, and how they are interpreted. A section called 'Putting it all together' gives sample test results and their interpretations. The included DVD illustrates the case examples.
