The oculovestibular reflex is characterized by the reactivity coefficient and phase shift. The reactivity coefficient is a relative value which makes it possible to evaluate oculovestibular interaction and to describe the normal reactivity of the vestibular system which is far less variable than the vestibular nystagmus norm. Phase shift is defined as a delay or lead of the oculomotor reaction (in degrees) when compared to the stimulus generating it. Methods for measuring the reactivity coefficient and phase shift of the oculovestibular reflex are described.
