  1. Significant group differences between PPPD patients and HC are highlighted using bold type. If not annotated given p values were calculated using Student’s t-test, additional statistic test used: Mann-Whitney test*. As there were no interocular differences regarding the nystagmus measurements for the sake of clarity these exemplary are only given for the left eye
  2. SD Standard deviations, N numbers, Min, Max minimum and maximum values, M medians; Calculations not possible or not reasonable are marked as N/A. Deg degree, min minute, Nyst nystagmus, SR sickness rating, s seconds
