Cervical spinal manipulation impacts saccadic eye movements, a key indicator of brain function. This study shows immediate and long-term effects on saccades in a post-concussion syndrome patient.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Ophthalmology
- Neurology
Background:
- Saccadic eye movements reflect brain network function.
- Infrared Oculography quantifies saccades non-invasively for diagnosis.
- Spinal manipulation's effects on saccades are understudied.
