| pubmed-article:1489280 | pubmed:abstractText | A new system for recording eye movements using a charge-coupled device (CCD) imagesensor in a video camera, in which less than 0.5 degree of horizontal and vertical eye movements can be recorded, was applied in 7 subjects. Eye movements were recorded while they stepped in place. We observed 5 normal subjects, a patient with horizontal and vertical oscillopsia during walking, and one with a chronic limp. In the normal adults, the amplitude of vertical eye movement was less than 0.5 degree, and the horizontal eye movement was less than 2 degrees. The mean amplitude of horizontal and vertical eye movements in the subject who limped was larger than that of normal subjects. The patient who complained of vertical oscillopsia during walking showed the largest amplitude of vertical eye movement among any subject tested. The vertical oscillopsia in the patient was due to the largest amplitude of vertical eye movement. This system for recording eye movements will be useful in analyzing the mechanism of gaze fixation during walking. | lld:pubmed |
