auxiliary device for performing and interpreting vestibular evoked myogenic potentials for diagnosis of body balance disorders

摘要

auxiliary device for performing and interpreting the vestibular evoked myogenic potentials for the diagnosis of changes in body balance The present patent refers to an auxiliary device for performing and interpreting the vemp exam for diagnosing changes in body balance in the elderly, and in other populations by processing data obtained after muscle acoustic stimulation. the main objective is to make the execution and interpretation of electrophysiological and vestibular tests, such as vemp, more adequate, allowing greater precision and confidence in the diagnosis of changes in body balance. the device consists of a console with input for power supply, on / off selector switch, embedded system module, led displays, usb serial inputs for pc / notebook and bluetooth device. for the use of the device, the adjustments will be made using software stored in the embedded system module (3), which will process the information sent to the console, providing new parameters for analysis and interpretation of the test results. during the exam, the LED display on the console will be able to indicate, through colors, the analysis of postural balance: green color (without changes), yellow color (alert for changes) and red color (with changes). the mechanics described above will allow the data obtained in the test to be processed and new parameters of vemp produced, making it possible to identify changes in body balance.
