[Muscle dynamics in compensatory eye movements (author's transl)].
The theory of compensatory rolling of the eyes when the head is inclined is based on the belief that only the bulb rolls. The authors, on the other hand, advance the hypothesis that level components are also inevitably involved. Therefore, they consider it more correct to speak of compensatory eye movements, especially as such phenomena are also phylogenetically present. On the basis of Volkmann's data (1869), the directions of rotation of the involved muscles are demonstrated and physiologically explained. In this connection if becomes evident that the level divergences observed in pareses of the obliquus superior muscle are already physiologically preprogrammed.
