The use of a 500 Hz tone burst over other frequencies was adopted for the clinical recording of ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP) on the basis that this stimulus frequency produces larger response amplitudes (frequency tuning) than the other frequencies. However, the possibility of reflex contamination due to a spatially displaced reference electrode from the muscle of the response origin raises questions about using an infraorbital (IO) montage. Nonetheless, the belly-tendon (BT) montage, which places both the recording electrodes over the inferior oblique muscle, increases the chances of obtaining a response with greater contribution from the inferior oblique muscle. However, whether this response continues to show the frequency tuning to 500 Hz is not known. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the frequency tuning of oVEMP using various electrode montages.
