Vestibular-evoked myogenic potential triggered by galvanic vestibular stimulation may reveal subclinical alterations in human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1-associated myelopathy.

BACKGROUND:Vestibular-evoked myogenic potential triggered by galvanic vestibular stimulation (galvanic-VEMP) evaluates the motor spinal cord and identifies subclinical myelopathies. We used galvanic-VEMP to compare spinal cord function in individuals infected with human T-cell lymphotropic virus typ...
