Training in VNG
The role of eye movements in measuring brain function
Description
This course will emphasize the importance of utilizing a brain-based perspective when evaluating patients in the clinic. We will review basic brain functions, including feedback loops with sensory inputs, and cognitive screens to assess brain function. Utilizing this information, we will apply a brain-based perspective to interpretation of saccadometry and other oculomotor tests. We will also touch on the impact the cervical system has on our eye movements.
Learning Objectives
-
Describe basic brain functions and identify common cognitive screens.
-
Interpret saccadometry results in central disorders such as concussion.
-
Understand the importance of measuring vertical eye movements and incorporating cervical assessments.
