Q

Why does blur occur during NRA testing?

A

Blur.

Q

How do you test if vergence system or accommodative system is to blame for NRA?

A

Cover one eye.

If target is clear from the blur, then vergence is to blame.

Q

Give me two reasons a ptx may have low PRA values?

A
  1. Ptx has problems stimulating accommodation

2. Ptx may have high esophoria at near, thus hard to diverge eyes.

Q

Why may blur result for NRV testing?

29
Q

Why do the eyes shift when prism is introduced?

A

To maintain normal retinal correspondence.

Vergence movements are made.

30
Q

Why may blur result for PRV testing?

A
  1. Low convergence ability like in high exophoria

2. Difficulty relaxing accommodation.

31
Q

What is total positive vergence?

A

From the start of the test to the diplopia finding?

32
Q

Would an esophoric ptx or exophoric ptx have trouble converging?

A

Exophoric

33
Q

Give me the two clinical applications for a high PRV value relative to NRV value?

A
  1. Near esophoria

2. Difficulty stimulating accommodative system.

34
Q

What are the three things used to describe ocular motor dysfunction?

A

Fixation
Pursuit
Saccades

35
Q

Which skill develops first in a human; accommodation or eye movement skills?

A

Accommodation.

Throw BV skills n the same category as well.

36
Q

There is a high prevalence of OMD in children with learning disabilities and emotional disorders, as
well as in children without learning disorders and emotional disabilities

A

Cierto

37
Q

Name the three researches for OMD dysfunction part 1

A

Sherman
Hoffman
Lieberman

38
Q

Between SCCO and NSUCO, which test is more standardized?

A

NSUCO

Not Sitting

39
Q

What test monocularly tests for fixation?

A

UCT

40
Q

Does a higher ratio result in a lower percentile rank?

A

Claro que si!

41
Q

Define Type 1 outcome on DEM test?

A

Patient performs within the normal range, greater than 35th percentile, for both the vertical and the horizontal sections as well as makes an acceptable amount of errors for their age.

42
Q

Define Type II outcome on DEM test?

A

Patient has OMD only. Patient passes vertical section.
Patient is below average on horizontal portion.
THe patient also shows a high ratio

43
Q

Type III?

A

Patient has an automaticity problem only.
Patient shows below avg performance on both the vertical and horizontal portion of the test.
Ratio is normal
T

44
Q

Type IV?

A

Paient has automaticity and OMD problem.

Horizontal time performance is worse than that of the vertical performance giving an abnormally high ratio.

45
Q

Can you test automaticity with the King-Devick test?

A

NOPE

46
Q

What are the name of the researchers that did a study on DEM?

A

Tassinari and DeLand

47
Q

Which saccadic test would you use to monitor ptx in vision therapy?

A

Visigraph

48
Q

Name the researcher that did their research in Visigraph?

A

Colby

49
Q

T/F

Pierce test evaluates gross saccadic movements?

A

True

These gross movements are bigger than that of King Devick test

50
Q

List the criteria that the ptx is graded on for NSUCO testing

A

Ability
Accuracy
Body/Head Movement

51
Q

Why is head movement so horrible?

A
  1. It expends more energy than is needed

2. Disorientation in space

52
Q

At what age should pursuits in children be smooth?

A

8 years of age.

53
Q

What two things can a pt with large pursuits mean?

A
  1. Inability to sustain attention

2. Distracted by objects in the periphery

54
Q

Define motor overflow

A

Fidgeting or unrelated verbalization during ocular motor testing

55
Q

If you find the patient struggling with the pursuit task, what should you tell the ptx to do next?

A

Point to the target.

This adds kinesthetic support

56
Q

What does it mean if a ptx scores improves with kinesthetic support?

A

An organic cause to a pursuit problem

57
Q

What does better monocular performance than binocular performance suggest?

A

A binocular problem

58
Q

What does a better binocular performance suggest?

A

That adequate monocular performance has not been achieved

That there is a fragile pursuit system

59
Q

Define Visual therapy

A

Involves the use of therapeutic procedures to modify visual function

60
Q

Define developmental vision training

A

Used to help the development of proper visual function in children

61
Q

Define preventative vision training?

A

Prevents visual problems that would otherwise occur

62
Q

Define Rehabilitative vision training?

A

Used to help with vision conditions that have already been identified

63
Q

Define Enhancement visual training?

A

Used to enhance visual skills for sports, work, or academic demands

64
Q

What is the name of the author who identified four areas of vision therapy?

A

Peachy

65
Q

Define BI-ocular technique?

A

Simultaneous Perception.

Done with both eyes open but ptx is not fused.

66
Q

In what context is afterimage used in OMD treatment?

A

As a form of feedback.

You are tagging the pt’s fovea by giving visual feedback to help him with the accuracy of the pursuits

67
Q

Define phoria?

A

Latent deviation from the eye

68
Q

What system is responsible for making the deviation latent?

A

Vergence system!

Central fusion and alignment is possible as a result

69
Q

Define tropia?

A

Manifest deviation of the eye.
The vergence system cannot compensate for the deviation.
A tropia is not necessarily cosmetically apparent.

70
Q

What four things does the UCT reveal?

A

Frequency
Magnitude
Laterality (which eye)
Direction of the deviation

71
