extra ocular eye movement Flashcards

1
Q

importance of eye movement

A
  • the eyes move to initiate and maintain fixation by directing the line of sight , important to keep the image on the retina
  • also important to follow objects thought saccades and pursuits

Duction

A

movement or rotation of one eye around the axes of fick (monocular)
evaluated with the other eye closed and having the pt move the eye in all directions of gaze

Q

conjugate eye movements

A

binocular movement where the visual axis of both eyes are in the same direction to maintain fixation with both eyes. Both eyes move in the same direction, by the same amount

Q

vergence

A

disoncjugate eye movement where the eyes rotate in opposite directions
-looking at a pen close to nose, eyes are not looking in the same direction

Q

oblique muscles

A

superior oblique

inferior oblique

20
Q

horizontal recti muscles

A

in primary gaze, they are horizontal movers around the vertical Z axis

21
Q

Medial rectus

A
  • moves the eye to the nose (ADDuction)
  • innervated by CN3
  • inserts 5.5mm from nasal limbus
22
Q

lateral rectus

A
  • moves eye away from the nose (ABduction)
  • CN6
  • inserts 6.9mm from temporal limbus
23
Q

vertical recti muscles

A

similar to horizontal recti muscles, they also insert in front of the equator

24
Q

superior rectus

A
  • primary action is to move the eye up (elevation)
  • secondary action: intorsion
  • tertiary action: ADDuction
  • CN3
  • inserts 7.7mm from superior limbus
25
inferior rectus
- primary action-move the eye down (depression) - secondary action- extortion - tertiary-ADDuction - CN3 - inserts 6.5mm behinf inferior limbus
26
Medial and lateral walls
45 degrees of each other. the orbital axis is about 23 degrees of the two walls.
27
in primary gaze, the orbital axis...
is at 23 degrees of the visual axis
28
What EOM run with the orbital axis?
Vertical recti (23 degrees of visual axis)
29
2 oblique muscles insert..
behind the equator at 51 degree angle with the visual axis
30
superior oblique
- primary action-torsion - secondary-depression - tertiary-abduction - CN4 - passes through trochlea found between the superior and medial walls, reflects backwards and inserts in the posterior quadrant of the globe
31
inferior oblique
- primary action-extortion - secondary-elevation - tertiary-abduction - CN3 - originates at a small depression at orbital floor. it inserts in posterior lower temporal quadrant of the globe close to the macula
32
EOM involved in abduction
- lateral rectus - medial rectus - inferior oblique - superior oblique
33
EOM involved in adduction
- medial rectus - superior rectus - inferior rectus
34
six cardinal points
represent the positions of gaze where one muscle is responsible for the movement into that position
35
agonist-antagonist
pair of muscle in the same eye that move the eye in opposite directions medial rectus is antagonist to the lateral rectus
36
synergist muscle
muscles in the same eye that move the eye in the same direction inferior oblique and the superior rectus
37
Yoke Muscle
pair of muscles, one in each eye, that produce conjugate eye movements Right inferior oblique is the yoked muscle of the left superior rectus
38
Sherrington Law of reciprocal innervation
increased innervation to one muscle is accompanied by a reciprocal decreased innervation to its antagonist in the same eye. increased innervation to the left medial rectus to contract makes the left lateral rectus relax. This helps in both versions and vergences
39
Hearing Law of equal innervation
during conjugate eye movements, equal and simultaneous innervations flow to yoked muscles. This is useful when there is a palsy to a muscle, you will notice that the yoke muscle in the other eye will overact
40
purpose of evaluating ocular motility
assess the ability to maintain fixation (conjugate movements)
41
Equipment needed to assess ocular motility
penlight, small target or finger puppet
42
set up for assessing ocular motility
no glasses because you want to be able to see any misalignment, fully illuminated room
43
instructions to pt when assessing ocular motility
- fixate on penlight 40cm away - follow penlight without moving head - have pt report double vision, pain, strain, discomfort - start in primary and do H pattern - look for ease, accuracy, and extent of movement
44
how to report ocular motility assesment
full and smooth for accurate and full movements if there is abnormalities noticed, note it
45
what to expect when assessing ocular motility
- full range of movement with no diplopia complaints | - end point nystagmus
46
end point nystagmus
eyes "beat" if you go over too far
47
order in which to assess ocular motility
1. versions | 2. ductions ONLY if there were any abnormalities
