Abstract
The goal of the study was to state the usefulness of the Halmagyi-Curthoys' test in the patients with unilateral vestibular weakness. The influence of the heaviness of the canal paresis, spontaneous nystagmus and compensation on the test results was observed. The investigation was performed in 68 patients with unilateral vestibular weakness of the various origin. Halmagyi-Curthoys' test was done using passive way. In healthy subjects the test results were negative. In patients: 47% demonstrated positive test, 44,1% negative proof, in 8,9% test was difficult to estimate. The obtained results pointed out that Halmagyi-Curthoys test is useful as orientation, preliminary examination, generally in cases with deep canal paresis (according to Dix- Hallpike's classification).
