The purpose of this study was to determine which test conditions are appropriate for clinical examination of predictive control ability in smooth pursuit eye movements (SPEM). A combination of sinusoidal and pseudorandom target motion was employed to examine SPEM. Pseudorandom waves were generated by summing sinusoidal components spaced at 0.05 Hz intervals over three frequency ranges: 0.05 to 0.5 Hz, 0.05 to 1 Hz and 0.05 to 1.5 Hz. The peak amplitude of the resultant target waveform was set at 30 degrees. Testing was performed with 8 normal subjects. The results indicate a SPEM gain of 0.9 for 0.05-0.5 Hz, 0.7 for 0.05-1 Hz and 0.3 for 0.05-1.5 Hz. It is concluded that the pseudorandom wave of 0.05 to 1 Hz in frequency range is most suitable for clinical use.

D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D004585 Electrooculography Recording of the average amplitude of the resting potential arising between the cornea and the retina in light and dark adaptation as the eyes turn a standard distance to the right and the left. The increase in potential with light adaptation is used to evaluate the condition of the retinal pigment epithelium. EOG,Electrooculograms,Electrooculogram
