Does extraocular muscle proprioception influence oculomotor control?
Disorders of ocular motility are encountered on a regular basis within ophthalmic practice. They include a wide variety of conditions from non-paralytic strabismus commonly seen in paediatric clinics to acquired restrictive and paralytic conditions, which may be indicative of more serious underlying pathology. For an accurate diagnosis to be made an understanding of the basic mechanisms involve...
متن کاملFunctional Anatomy of the Extraocular Muscle Pulleys
2. Which statement concerning the rectus extraocular muscle pulleys is correct? a. The rectus pulleys are composed of rings of cartilage. b. The rectus pulleys are rigidly attached to the walls of the orbit. c. Each rectus pulley receives an insertion from the global layer fibers of its rectus extraocular muscle. d. The global layer fibers of the extraocular muscles do not insert on the pulleys...
متن کاملThe role of extraocular proprioception in vestibulo-ocular reflex of rabbits.
This study was undertaken to elucidate the role of extraocular proprioception in the vestibulo-ocular reflex, using pigmented rabbits. The presence of extraocular afferent projections in the ophthalmic branch (OB) of the trigeminal nerve was confirmed by retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase. The OB of the left trigeminal nerve was transected at its junction with the trigeminal ganglio...
متن کاملWhat is the role of muscle receptors in proprioception?
The role of muscle afferents is discussed in terms of their contribution to kinesthesia, the senses of position and movement of the limbs. It is argued that muscle spindles are not well suited as position sensors, on several grounds. Yet we know from muscle vibration experiments that they do contribute to kinesthesia. A number of recent experiments have shown that positional information is of p...
متن کاملExtraocular proprioception and new treatments for infantile nystagmus syndrome.
Our goal is to develop the proprioceptive hypothesis for nystagmus damping; and present the resulting therapies for the treatment of infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) and acquired nystagmus. Contact lenses, cutaneous stimulation, and neck-muscle vibration damped INS. Four-muscle tenotomy and reattachment was hypothesized as a treatment for INS in 1979 and successfully demonstrated to improve f...
