Background:
Management of vestibular falls requires precise evaluation of otolithic function and gravity recognition. Tilt of the head in the roll plane causes ocular counter rolling (OCR) with a gain of 5-10%, which can be a quantitative parameter related to the otolith-ocular reflex (OOR) in that plane. However, the OOR in the pitch plane is indiscernible because of our ability to voluntarily gaze and pursue. 3 D eye movements and its Listing's plane description can provide novel parameters with which to evaluate OOR, even in the pitch plane.
Objectives:
To evaluate the utility of 3 D eye movement analysis in video oculography (VOG) as a quantitative parameter reflecting otolithic function during head movements associated with daily life.
Materials And Methods:
In healthy subjects, we analyzed the changes in 3 D eye movements and the Listing's plane that occur with static gravitational modification.
Results:
OOR during head tilt in the roll plane revealed that OCR amplitude had a saturating/peaked conformation and was not fitted by a sine curve. OOR in the pitch plane revealed anteroposterior leaning of the Listing's plane.
Conclusions:
These novel tools for minimally invasive evaluation of OOR in a clinical setting could potentially enable us to quantitatively evaluate peripheral static disequilibrium.
