motor alignment group is a group of skills that…
a group of skills that measures how accurately the eyes point at the object of regard
Dissociated measures of alignment
a measure of the eye posture when fusion is broken (where do the eyes point at rest when they are not working together)
Dissociated measures include (3)
cover test, von graefe phorias, and maddox rod measures
Associated measures of alignment
are measures of the accuracy of eye alignmnet under FUSED conditions. (with both eyes open and pointing at the target
even under fused conditions the eyes will rest
slighty in front (eso) or slightly behind (exo) the target, this is measured as fixation disparity
Uuseful for prescribing prism
Fixation Disparity (associated measures of alignment )
Do AC/A and CA/C directly measure motor alignment?
no, they describe the association between convergence and accommodation as a ratio
______ quantifies the near triad
AC/A , can tell you how strong or weak it is
Useful for prescribing extra plus at near for high ACA Esos or over minus at distance for young HIGH ACA Exos
AC/A and CA/C
PFV group
tests that measure the visual systems ability to converge the eyes. This group is important for predicting the comfrort of a pt with exo motor alignmnet
NFV group
tests that measure the visual systems ability to diverge the eyes; group is important for predicting the comfort of a pt with an ESO motor alignmnet
ocular motor skills
these tests measures a pts pursuit and saccadic function. Includes: subjective saccades, subjective pursits, NSUCO, DEM, King Devick
Vertical Fusion
a group of tests that are used to evaluate pts with a hyper/hypo motor alignment . Supra/infra vergences, FD
Visual-verbal tests of ocular motor skills
The DEM and King Devick are visual-verbal tests of ocular motor skills.
Modified Thorington test (dissociated phoria with saladin)
using a maddox rod and shining the transluminator through the pin hole. Pt describes the location of red line
to measure a horizontal phoria using modified thorington
place maddox rod horizontally over pt right eye. And vice versa for a vertical phoria
What is the DOG card (on reverse of the wesson card) used for
to get a Convergence Accomodation/convergence range. Doing dynamic ret through central aperture. And re meaure dynamic ret while holding 6 BO
name the tools that can measure Fixation Disparity and associated phoria
- wesson fixation disparity card, 2. AO Vectographic card, 3. Saladin Near point card 4. Sheedy Disparometer
Saladin Card can be used to measure for Fixation Dispairty by using ? To measure Exo the pt should view the card _____, to measure eso the pt should view the card______
the vernier lines within the grey circles across the top and side of card. Exo=card right side up Eso=view the card held up side down .
AO vectographic card set up
pt wears polarized glasses; it’s the card with the circle in the middle. The top and the line to the right are OS.
Sheedy Disparometer set up
pt wears polarized glasses; pt keeps letters around venier lines clear; clinician rotates back of instrument to zero; ask if lines are aligned. Rotate and read back of instrument for FD. If FD zero=associated phoria zero.
I am getting one measurement on sheedy disparometer. But in two steps.
first step is getting if they are eso or exo. ask them if it is aligned and rotate until the lines are aligned. t=eso or exo.
2nd step: is getting the prism amnt. set it to zero. and use prism.
