Impersistent execution of saccadic eye movements after traumatic brain injury

Brain Injury : [BI]
I GlassI Groswasser-Reider

Abstract

A dynamic scoring system was developed to quantitatively resolve the ability of a subject to persistently execute a repeated motor act. Saccadic eye movements in response to pseudo-random and periodic stimuli were examined in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and in normal subjects. Results indicated significantly lower dynamic persistence scores for the former group (50.5 +/- 32.2% vs 94.1 +/- 4.4%). Analysis of the patients' data revealed a stronger association of low scores with right hemisphere damage than with left hemisphere damage (39.4 +/- 28.9% vs 76.6 +/- 15.6%). Results are interpreted in terms of high-level attention impairments, not in terms of specific deficits in eye movement ability.

brain injury after impact to the head is due to both immediate mechanical effects and delayed responses of neural tissues.
