Study design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Academic tertiary medical center. Patients: Forty-five adult patients were recruited to the study, 25 had vestibular disorders, and 20 did not (controls). Intervention: All patients underwent conventional bucket-SVV (b-SVV) and smartphone-based SVV (s-SVV) testing. Main outcome measures: Correlation and agreement of b-SVV and s-SVV scores in patients with peripheral vestibular disorders compared to controls. Results: SVV score in the vestibular disorders group was significantly higher compared to controls in both testing methods (p  View on the web Inoreader. Take back control of your news feed.
