How do you become Optokinetic nystagmus?

Optokinetic nystagmus can be induced with an optokinetic drum, a banded cloth, a tablet application, or simply with the examiner moving the outstretched fingers in front of the patient. Looking at these moving visual patterns normally induces nystagmus with the slow phase in the direction of the pattern movement.

What is Optokinetic after nystagmus?

Optokinetic after-nystagmus (OKAN) is the nystagmus which is immediately observed in darkness after optokinetic stimulation has been stopped. Barany reported this nystagmus in 1907.

What is Optokinetic Eye movement?

Optokinetic nystagmus is a rhythmic involuntary conjugate ocular movement in response to the movement of full visual field images, either rotation of an image before the subject, such as a drum with vertical black stripes on a white background, or rocking of a mirror back and forth in front of the patient’s eyes.

What is asymmetric Optokinetic nystagmus?

Abstract. Background: Monocular optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) asymmetry is associated with disruption of early binocular visual development. Methods: Three groups of treated esotropic patients and a group of normal controls were evaluated for the presence of clinically detectable monocular OKN asymmetry.

What is the difference between the vestibulo ocular reflex and an optokinetic response?

In VOR, turning the head stimulates the vestibular organ, resulting in turning of the eyeball in the direction opposite to the head turn. In OKR, movement of the large visual field (optokinetic stimulation) induces the eyeball to turn in the same direction as the image motion.

What is the difference between saccades and nystagmus?

Saccadic oscillations not fitting the normal function are a deviation from a healthy or normal condition. Nystagmus is characterised by the combination of ‘slow phases’, which usually take the eye off the point of regard, interspersed with saccade-like “quick phases” that serve to bring the eye back on target.

What does the word optokinetic mean?

Definition of optokinetic : of, relating to, or involving movements of the eyes.

What is the Cervico ocular reflex?

The cervico-ocular reflex (COR) is an ocular stabilization reflex that is elicited by rotation of the neck. It works in conjunction with the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) and the optokinetic reflex (OKR) in order to prevent visual slip over the retina due to self-motion.

What is optokinetic asymmetry?

Asymmetrical optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) means that OKN has a lower gain (slow-phase eye velocity/stimulus velocity) for monocular temporalward than nasalward visual field motion. OKN tends to be asymmetric in amblyopia, leading to suggestions of a link between OKN asymmetry and binocularity in the literature.

What is the Vestibulocollic reflex?

1 Definition The vestibulocollic reflex (VCR) is a compensatory response of the neck muscles when head motion is sensed by the vestibular organs in the inner ear. The cervicocollic reflex (CCR) is a compensatory response of the neck muscles that is driven by neck proprioceptive inputs during motion of the body.

What are Hypermetric saccades?

Definition. A saccade that overshoots the target with the dynamic saccade. [ from HPO]
