BACKGROUND: The vestibular evoked muscle potentials (VEMPs) test provides information about the otolith organs and the vestibular nerves. The usefulness of VEMP responses related to the trapezius muscle in the evaluation of the vestibular system remains uncertain. The present study sought to compare VEMPs recorded over the trapezius muscle (tVEMP) in extensor and flexor conditions with cervical VEMP (cVEMP) responses and to evaluate the applicability of tVEMP
