Subjective Visual Vertical

Subjective Visual Vertical (SVV)

Subjective Visual Vertical (SVV) is a diagnostic test that assesses a person's perception of vertical orientation. During the test, the patient views a vertical line or a visual display and adjusts it to match their perceived vertical. Deviations from true vertical can indicate dysfunction in the vestibular system or central nervous system. SVV is useful for diagnosing conditions affecting balance and spatial orientation, providing insights into vestibular disorders and guiding appropriate treatment and management strategies.
