AI Technical Summary
When using existing rotary vestibular function testing instruments, the cylindrical barrel is prone to displacement and slippage, and the friction between the test subject's head and the barrel results in poor comfort.
The four-wheel support of the base was changed to a track type, and an integrated chin and forehead support design was adopted. The track ring and rollers were used to reduce friction, and the worm gear adjustment structure was combined to achieve stable positioning of the cylinder.
It effectively avoids displacement and slippage of the cylinder during rotation, improves the comfort of the person being tested, facilitates quick head positioning, and enhances the stability and comfort of the test.
