Steady Ground Starts With Clear Answers
Dizziness can make simple tasks feel difficult. Videonystagmography, or VNG, is a set of safe eye movement tests that help specialists find out why balance feels off.
At Advanced Neurologic Rehabilitation, our neurological rehabilitation clinic in Chandler, AZ, Gilbert, AZ and Scottsdale, AZ, VNG gives a clear picture of how the inner ear and brain control balance, so your care plan targets the real cause.
What VNG Measures And Why It Matters
The eyes and inner ear work as a team. When that team falls out of sync, your eyes reveal clues about balance problems.
By studying those clues, your therapist identifies which part of the balance system needs help. VNG helps this process by recording small eye movements while you follow lights, change head positions, or experience gentle, controlled stimulation.
When Everyday Motion Feels Like A Spin
Patients often come to VNG testing in Chandler, AZ, Gilbert, AZ and Scottsdale, AZ after noticing:
- Spinning sensations or vertigo
- Lightheadedness or unsteadiness when standing or walking
- Blurred vision with head turns
- Nausea linked to head movement
- Trouble in busy stores or on visually complex screens
- Falls or fear of falling
These symptoms can come from the inner ear, the brain, or both. VNG helps sort that out.
How The Test Works From Start To Finish
A therapist places lightweight goggles with a tiny camera over your eyes. You sit or lie down in a quiet room. You watch moving lights, change positions, and may feel brief, gentle air or water stimulation in the ear canal. The camera records eye movements in real time. Most visits take less than an hour. You can eat lightly beforehand, and you can usually go about your day after the test.
From Data To A Plan You Can Use
Your therapist reviews the results and explains what they mean in plain language. If the inner ear is the main source, your plan may include vestibular rehabilitation therapy to retrain balance and reduce dizziness.
If vision or neck input also plays a role, your plan can include vision therapy, gaze stabilization, and postural training. Clear results lead to targeted treatment and faster progress.
