[Computer tests for research of the oculomotor reactions in patients with complains of dizziness].
New methodological principles for a study of vestibular function, intersensory interactions, and eye tracking function are proposed by parameters of spontaneous oculomotor responses and those induced by visual and vestibular stimuli using the series of computer stimulating programs, which provided polymodal, separate and combined stimulation of the visual and vestibular inputs for the OCULOSTIM unit. The method suggested allows to objectivity the subjective complaints of dizziness and equilibrium disturbances, to differentiate diagnosis of cerebral organic process and psychogenic disease of central nervous system (CNS), and to specify physiological systems involved in their pathogenesis as well as to diagnose subclinical cerebral vestibulopathy. Qualitative and quantitative characteristics of eye tracking movements with and without a visual background (retinal optokinetic stimulation) are the most informative in the differential diagnosis of organic and functional psychogenic CNS disturbances.
