It has been over 100 years since Róbert Bárány first described the caloric test and was subsequently awarded a Nobel Prize for his research on the vestibular apparatus [1]. Since then, laboratory tests for vestibular assessment have evolved significantly with improvements in technology and the emergence of new techniques. Two methods that are rooted in some of the early approaches to vestibular assessment, videonystagmography (VNG) and posturography, are still in use today and are the subject of this chapter.
