Visual therapy remick 3 Flashcards
(pursuit activities/saccades) require sustained fixation of moving target
pursuit activities
(pursuit activities/saccades)require shifts of fixation from one target to another.
saccades
(automaticity/loading) can be practiced by using marsden ball, rotators, flashlight, laser pointer
automaticity
(saccades/pursuits) are slow tracking movements which are able to follow moving targets
pursuits
Visual tracing test and groffman eye trails test allow for assessment of ___ and ___ of pursuits
speed and accuracy
How do you grad pursuits ?
by observations
by timing the alphabet trakcing you can see what?
which is is dominant
T/F the alphabet tracking test is done binocularly
F monocular
what can you do in order to have biocular therapy to the glasses ?
add a red filter
the opaque lifesaver card is to test (convergenc/divergence)
convergence
the clear lifesaver card is used to test (divergence/convergence)
divergence
T/f saccades can not be improved
F there are techniques to improve saccades at distance and near with
a metronome is used for (automaticity/loading) when improving saccades
loading
what is loading?
ability to increase the patients ability to perform skills for longer durationsof time
4 harts chart at far timed improves :
- eye teaming
- monocularity
- binocularity
- automaticity
- central/peripheral awareness
- pick all that apply
improve eye teaming, binocularity, central/peripheral awareness
T/F 4 hart charts at 10 feet also improve saccades at distance timed
T
single window in the aperture rulers trainers is for (convergence/divergence)
convergence
double window in the aperture rulers trainers is for (convergence/divergence)
divergence
in the vectogram the (numbers/letters) for convergence ranges
numbers
in the vectograme the (numbers/letters) for divergence
letters
vectograms can help improve (binocularity/central peripheral awareness)
both, binocularity and central/periopheral awareness
Visual field expansion cards ephasis on (parvo/magno) processing
magno
Bi nasal taping on glasses are used for pt experience __(hyperopia/diploplia)__ due to TBI/stroke
diploplia
Bi nasal taping on glasses are used for pt experience __exo and eso (tropia/phoria)_ due to TBI/stroke
tropia
Yoked Prisms:
Shift spatial perception
Shift Image Location
Improve Balance in many midline shift patients
–all of these are used by (nasal taping on glasses/bean bag test)
yoked prisms with bean bags
give the correct order of testing for a pt.
- biocular
- binocular
- moocular
- monocular
- biocular
- binocular
In vision therapy for non strabismis pt. you want to proceed from (flat/stereo) training to (flat/stereo) wiht suppression controls
stereo, flat
In vision therapy for non strabismis pt. you want to proceed from (gross/finer) then progress to targets that are (gross/finer)
gross, finer
T/F proper sequencing is the key to overall success in a visual therapy program
T
In vision therapy for non strabismis pt. you want to end technique with (flat fusion/accommodative-convergence/monocular skills)
accomodative convergence
- Proceed from monocular skills to biocular skills to binocular skills.
- Proceed from stereo training to flat fusion with suppression controls.
- Equalize the visual skills between the two eyes.
- Initial targets should be gross targets (peripheral stimulation). As therapy progresses, targets should become finer and more central.
- Flat fusion should incorporate feedback for the patient.
- End-stage techniques must include “accommodative-convergence” flexibility.
- Proceed from monocular skills to biocular skills to binocular skills.
- Equalize the visual skills between the two eyes.
