Clinical Performance Tests Flashcards
What is king devick used for?
reading saccades
How is the king devick test run?
pt reads numbers horizontally starting from the top left, each test card is harder by removing guidelines and making spacing tighter vertically
How many tests are in king devick?
3
T/F the statistical error is accounted for with king devic test
true
T/F the king devic is bad for concussion screening
false, KD is a go to– need baseline before injury, then 5 sec slower than baseline is significant injury
What is the developmental eye movement test?
DEM takes out horizontal saccades to assess rapid automatic naming
T/F you must finish DEM to get reliable results
true, cannot analyze an unfinished test
Which direction is a DEM test read?
vertically– takes out horizontal saccades
What is A+B on a DEM test?
total vertical time, language only
What is C on a DEM test?
the horizontal test, language and saccades
T/F the error is accounted for with DEM test
false, you have to use calculations to account for the error
How do you account for a language issue on a DEM test?
using a ratio of adjusted time
Which two mistakes require a time adjustment and which two do not?
adjust time: addition, omission
don’t adjust time: substitution, transposition
What is the Groffman visual tracing test?
pt follows the line pattern from letter to number with only their eyes, more points for a faster finish
How many points do you get on Groffman if you’re wrong?
0 points
