fHIT Test in Chembur to Diagnose VOR Dysfunction
Functional Head Impulse Test (fHIT) is an advanced diagnostic test performed at Aryan ENT Clinic in Chembur to assess the performance of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR). This reflex is responsible for keeping your vision stable during rapid head movements. Any dysfunction in this reflex can result in vertigo, dizziness, and balance issues.
If you're experiencing episodes of imbalance, visual blurring during motion, or unexplained dizziness, the fHIT test in Chembur can help identify whether a VOR issue is the cause.
Why fHIT is Performed
- To assess how effectively the eyes stabilize vision during rapid head movements
- To evaluate dizziness and motion-related symptoms like visual vertigo
- To support diagnosis of vestibular disorders, including vestibular migraine or neuritis
- To detect early VOR dysfunction in patients with motion sickness
How the fHIT Test Works
- The patient wears goggles connected to a screen
- Brief, passive head movements are performed while characters briefly flash on the screen
- The patient identifies what they see – if their VOR is impaired, they won’t be able to read during motion
