Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

The Oculomotor and Vestibular Endurance Screening (MoVES) assessment establishes normative eye movement data in athletes. Initial findings suggest temporary impairment after head injury, with recovery within 14-21 days.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Oculomotor and vestibular functions are crucial for athletic performance and can be affected by head injuries.
  • The Oculomotor and Vestibular Endurance Screening (MoVES) assessment offers a standardized method to evaluate these functions.
  • Establishing normative data is essential for identifying impairments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish normative data for oculomotor and vestibular endurance using the MoVES assessment in a cohort of athletes.
  • To assess the consistency of MoVES measures between pre-season and post-season.
  • To investigate potential oculomotor and vestibular impairments following suspected head injuries in athletes.

Main Methods:

  • 311 athletes (mean age 19.4 years) performed seven MoVES tasks: horizontal/vertical saccades, vergence jumps, horizontal/vertical VOR, AoA, and NPC.
  • Data were collected during the pre-season, post-season, and at intervals after suspected head injury.
  • Normative values for eye movements per minute were calculated for each task.

Main Results:

  • Normative data for eye movements per 60 seconds were established for horizontal saccades (74±13/67±11), vertical saccades (70±13/66±10), vergence jumps (48±12/45±13), horizontal VOR (38±11/38±11), and vertical VOR (8±11/38±11).
  • MoVES measures demonstrated consistency between pre-season and post-season assessments.
  • A trend of decreased eye movements was observed in the initial days post-head injury, with recovery to baseline levels within 14-21 days.

Conclusions:

  • The MoVES assessment provides reliable normative data for oculomotor and vestibular endurance in athletes.
  • Head injuries appear to cause temporary, resolvable impairments in these functions within a three-week period.
  • This research lays the groundwork for future studies on head injury-related binocular and vestibular dysfunction.
