[Modified central otoneurological tests supported by computer analysis].
The paper presents the results of the study of gaze-evoked nystagmus, direction-gaze nystagmus and optokinetic nystagmus in 193 subjects, including 85 healthy pilots and 64 persons with vestibular pathology of central origin. For this purpose, a computer program was applied for evoking strictly standardised oculomotor stimuli. Moreover, computer analysis of the responses was introduced. To make the method applicable for otoneurological evaluation of flying personnel members, physiological norms of the parameters of interest for gaze-evoked and optokinetic tests have been presented, based on the study results in different age groups. Regardless the applied procedure, an initial analysis was made in patients with vestibular pathology of central origin. After having compared these results with the results achieved in healthy population, the introduced battery of tests was found to be a reliable method of studies for the purpose of otoneurological diagnostics.
