Transfer function of right- and leftward eye movements in patients with unilateral labyrinth.
In patients with loss of unilateral labyrinthine function, the dynamic characteristics of rightward eye movement and leftward eye movement induced by the healthy labyrinth were displayed respectively. In patients who were examined within a few months after loss of unilateral labyrinthine function, the gain of eye movement toward the healthy labyrinth was low compared with that of eye movement toward the opposite direction. These differences in the gain were remarkable in the frequency range from 0.01 to 0.1 Hz. But those differences in the gain were not detected in patients who were examined more than 3 months after loss of unilateral labyrinthine function.
