Essentially, the brain copes with the disorientating . an eccentric position), Each position is held for 10 seconds and the therapist looks for nystagmus, GEN is only present with eccentric gaze, not in primary gaze, Smooth pursuit movements are slow, tracking eye movements that maintain images of smaller moving targets (20 to 30 degrees per second) on the fovea, Refixation saccades occur during target motion toward the side of the lesion, There may be unilateral or bilateral refixation saccades, Head and eyes move in unison with a target - suppressing the VOR, Refixation saccades will occur during head movement toward the side of the lesion, The smooth pursuit neck torsion test measures smooth pursuit eye movement with the head / trunk in neutral and when the trunk and neck are rotated relative to a stationary head, Smooth pursuit neck torsion test is considered to be specific for detecting eye movement disturbances due to altered cervical sensory input, A decrease in velocity gain of smooth pursuit eye movements during the test is only seen in patients with neck pain, Instruct the patient to look from one target to the other as quickly as possible vertical and horizontal, During these fast changes in eye position, the therapist looks at the amplitude, velocity and accuracy of targeting, Hypometric saccade = when the patient undershoots the target, Hypermetric saccade = when the patient overshoots the target, The patient is asked to focus on a target, The therapist gently grasps the patients head and applies a small-amplitude, high-acceleration thrust, The patient must not be able to predict on which side the thrust will be applied, The therapist observes the patients eyes for corrective saccades once the head stops moving, Refixation saccades indicate decreased VOR gain - i.e. letters) per line on the chart, but these charts do not have this feature.[1].
