SHIMP: a simple yet highly effective clinical protocol using standard infrared video google systems.

This recent study by Marcelli et al (2024, Audiological Research) describes the bedside SHIMP (IR-cSHIMP), a simple yet highly effective clinical protocol for testing horizontal and vertical semicircular canals using standard infrared video Google systems. 

 Key Takeaways:


  • IR-cSHIMP simplifies HSCCs/VSCCs testing.

  • Utilizes widely available IR video goggle systems.

  • Has high sensitivity and specificity in discriminating between normal and pathological responses  

  • allows streamlining of vestibular testing and improved diagnostic accuracy.
