Ans. c. Inferior vestibular nerve function VEMPs are believed to be a good indicator of saccular and inferior vestibular nerve function in clinical evaluations." - Julie A. Honaker and Ravi N. Samy, Current Opinion in Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surger Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP) Assesses inferior vestibular nerve function. VEMP testing is a relatively noninvasive method to assess patients with vestibular disorders. The VEMPs are sho latency electromyograms (EMGs) evoked by high-acoustic stimuli at the ipsilateral ear and recorded surface electrodes over a tonically contracted sternocleidomastoid muscle. VEMP is a vestibule-collie reflex whose afferent limb arises from acoustically insensitive cells in the saccule, with signals conducted the inferior vestibular nerve.
