The Importance of Vertical and Torsional Eye Movements in the Diagnosis of Vestibular and Neurological Conditions
Description
In this recorded webinar, Dr. João Lemos explores the limitations of only looking at horizontal eye movements in the assessment of vestibular and neurological conditions. Using video recordings of a range of case studies, Dr. Lemos presents examples of different conditions which benefit from vertical eye movement recordings as well as incorporating the objective measurement of torsional eye movements within the VNG test battery.
