Eye movement testing in clinical examination

Eye movement testing in clinical examination

The clinical vision examination routinely includes an evaluation of ocular motor function. In a number of diverse situations, thorough objective recording of eye movements is warranted, using any of a variety of eye-tracking technologies that are available currently to clinicians. Here we review the clinical uses of eye tracking, with both an historical and contemporary view. We also consider s...

Do Eye Movement Measures Show Testing Effects?

Taking a test during learning enhances later retention more than spending equivalent time restudying the same materials (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006). In the study, we first recorded participants’ eye movements in a paired-associate learning task while they were re-studying or tested for immediate cue recall. Testing prompted final item memory but not memory for its associated location. Participa...

[Examination of eye-movement related factors of representational momentum].

The judged final position of a moving target that disappears is displaced forward (representational momentum: RM), a phenomenon called representational momentum (RM). Recently, Kerzel (2000) suggested that RM was elicited by SPEMs after a target's offset that moved the persisting image of the target in the direction of the motion after the target dissapeared. We examined RM for a target that wa...

Clinical Exercise Pathophysiology for Physical Therapy: Examination, Testing, and Exercise Prescription for Movement-Related Disorders

In 2009, a summit of international experts summarized what is known in the rapidly developing area of spine and pelvic pain. These experts were charged with identifying agreements and apparent disagreements in the understanding and interpretation of the research and their implications for clinical practice. In 2010, information from this summit was disseminated to both European and North Americ...
