Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Objective: To assess vestibular function in a large group of vestibular schwannoma patients so that we could determine whether simple vestibular exercises speed vestibular dysfunction recovery after tumor removal surgery. Study Design: A prospective investigation of the vestibular dysfunction experienced by patients in the first 12 weeks after surgery. Setting: Vestibular investigation unit at a tertiary referral institution. Patients: Sixty-five patients with identified vestibular schwannoma referred for preoperative vestibular investigations. Thirty-two men and 33 women, with a mean age 51 years (range, 24-77 yr). Interventions: There were 27 control patients, 30 exercise patients, and 8 patients that had balance physiotherapy. Exercise patients began simple vestibulo-ocular reflex gaze stabilization exercises 3 days after surgery. Main Outcome Measures: Postoperative vestibular function testing was performed at 2 to 3, 6 to 7, and 10 to 12 weeks after surgery. Objective measurements of vestibular compensation status were as follows: spontaneous nystagmus and sinusoidal harmonic acceleration asymmetry and gain values. Dizziness Handicap Inventory questionnaires were used to assess subjective perceptions. Results: The main findings were reduced dispersion in vestibulo-ocular reflex asymmetry at 2 to 3 weeks, reduced mean in asymmetry at 6 to 7 weeks, less dizziness/imbalance according to the Dizziness Handicap Inventory questionnaire, and that preoperative caloric tests did not predict postoperative severity of vestibular systems. Conclusion: This large study provided unique evidence that a program of simple vestibular exercises and education can speed the rate o f compensation after vestibular schwannoma surgery. © 2005, Otology & Neurotology, Inc.
