Rotation tests
Medical diagnostics
ICD-9-CM95.45

Rotation tests are a set of tests used to evaluate the function of the labyrinth with particular emphasis on the semicircular canals, for the diagnosis of benign paroxysmal vertigo caused by otolith disorders in the semicircular canals.

The following tests are used to diagnose the exact location of the otoliths:

  • Dix Hallpike test[1] (or Nylen-Barany test) - diagnostic maneuver for the posterior semicircular canal [2]
  • Sidelying test - diagnostic maneuver for the rear semicircular canal[3]
  • Pagnini-McClure test (supine roll test) - diagnostic maneuver for the horizontal / side semicircular canal[4]
  • Head Tilt Test - maneuver for the front canal[5]
  • Barany test[6]
