The volume describes the multiplicity of methods that are being applied to the many disorders of balance, coordination, oculomotor function and vestibular function and the neural structures at risk for loss of function.
A very special focus is provided on bedside function testing. Wherever possible, the information presented focuses on evidence-based medicine; the specificity and sensitivity of each modality of testing is provided when known, along with comparison of their relative values.
