Abstract
In 1988, Halmagyi and Curthoys reported the clinical interest of bedside Head Impulse Test (bHIT) for vestibular system examination. Indeed, vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) deficit can be clinically demonstrated by the observation of a corrective refixation saccade immediately following head thrust. Testing vestibulo-ocular reflex at this high frequency rotation specifically asks for the action of direct short latency VOR pathway from the labyrinths to the extraocular muscles.
