Module 322: Neurology Primer: Visual Fixation and Saccadic Intrusions
By: Carrick Institute for Graduate Studies

Humans spend approximately 80% of their waking hours fixating their gaze. The ability to fixate is a fine calibration that is disrupted in patients of various neurological and neurodegenerative disorders who display increased gaze instability during the attempt to fixate. Understanding visual fixation dynamics is critical to advancing current knowledge in oculomotor and visual function in order to understand and help your patients suffering from neurological conditions.

This 8-hour seminar will review the most current anatomy and physiology behind visual fixation and saccadic intrusions. Normal and pathological eye movements will be discussed, including which eye movements are commonly seen with specific conditions. Testing and treatment protocols will be taught in such a way that learners can immediately implement what they learned no matter their skill level, and no matter if they have specialized equipment.
