Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential: A New Device Propose

May 26, 2010 updated by: Universidade Estadual de Ciências da Saúde de Alagoas
The bioelectrical responses of muscle, evoked by sound, obtained with a device considered the gold standard (widely used in clinics and hospitals) are similar to those obtained with a new device developed
