We evaluated the galvanic body sway test in patients with vestibular schwannomas using three parameters: the angle of deviation response onset, the maximum value of the deviation response, and the area of deviation. These parameters reflect velocity, position, and locus of the centre of pressure respectively. Among these parameters, only the angle of deviation response onset showed unilateral weakness of the response correlating with the canal paresis value, which indicates that velocity is responsible for conduction in the vestibular nerve. However, the galvanic body sway test is apt to be preferred to the caloric test. This might be attributed to the decreased sensitivity of this test.
