Muscle agonist definition:
the muscle responsible for moving eye into desired position of gaze. The agonist of moving te right eye to the righ ti sthe RLR
Muscle antagonist definition:
muscle that oves the eye in the othe opposite direction of the desired position of gaze. The antagonist to the RLR os the RMR.
Homolateral synergist=
muscles in the SAME eye that have the SAME action (RSR and the RIO BOTH elevate the eye, and RSR and RSO both intort the eye)
Contralateral synerists=
muscles in opposite eye that have the SAME action (RSR and LIO oth elevate eye up) Contralateral synergists form YOKED muscles. The RSR and the KIO are yoked muscles that both elevate the eyes in the same directio nof gaze.
Contralateral synergists form ______-muscles
YOKED
Whenever an impulse for an eye movement is sent, yoked muscles receive _______ to cotnract or relax
EQUAL innervation
1 degree angle of deviation is determined when _________-
the good NONparetic eye fixates
2 degree angle of deviation is determiend when the
pareit eye fixates
T/F 2 degree angle is ALWAYS greater than 1 degree angle
T
Describe contracture of homolateral antagonist (overaction)
Normally, when a muscle acts to move the eye, it contracts (shortens) and its antagonist lengthens.
If a muscle is paretic, then it no longer contracts fully. Its antagonist, therefore, does not lengthen and stays in a state of contraction (shortened muscle). This constant over-action leads to a loss of elastic tissue = contracture.
Occurs when the “sound” eye fixates.
Contracture of the Contralateral Synergist--example
RSO paresis causes contracture of the LIR if the patient is fixating with the right eye. WHY?
Because it takes excessive innervation to stimulate the right eye to look down and to the left, the LIR receives this same innervation and contracts too much. Over time, this continual contraction causes a loss of elasticity to the LIR and it is unable to lengthen.
Contracture of the Contralateral Synergist (yoked muscle) defintion
A yoked muscle receives as much innervation as the agonist. When a paresis is present and the patient fixates with the paretic eye, both the agonist and its yoked muscle receive excessive stimulation. The muscles do not lengthen. Over time, this over action causes contracture (loss of elasticity)
Occurs when the paretic eye fixates.
Inhibitional Palsy of the Contralateral Antagonist
The antagonist of a paretic muscle requires less than normal innervation to move into its field of action.
The yoked muscle of the antagonist will therefore also receive less stimulation and will therefore under-act and appear palsied.
This phenomenon occurs ONLY WHEN THE PARETIC EYE FIXATES!!!!
How soon does inhibitional palsy of contralateral antagonist come into play?
can occur almost immediately, wthin hours.

The anatagonist of the paretic muscle requires less than normal inervation to movei nto its filed of action. The yoked muscle of the antagonist will therfore also receive less stiulation and will therefore underact and appear palsied. ONLY currs when paretic eye fixates
Example of inhibitional palsy of contralateral antagonist:
RSO paresis
Patient fixates with right eye and looks up and to the left (the DAF of the RIO).
Because the RSO is paretic, (its antagonist) the RIO needs less innervation to move up and left.
The yoked muscle of the RIO, the LSR, therefore also receives less innervation.
This results in the appearance of a LSR palsy when looking up and left.
A normal eye appears paretic!!!
if pt is an exo and tilts head to the left its a _____ palsy until proven otherwise
RSO
if pt is an exo and tilts head to the right, its a ____ palsy until proven otherwise
LSO
What is the doll head phenomena?
the FACE is always placed in the diagnoistc action field of the affected muscle in an attempt to avoid diploia and maintain binocular ision field. The EYE moves away from the muscle field.
If pt has a RSO paresis, what will pt do to compensate?
tilt chin DOWN and turn face LEFT


RSO is responsible for moving eyes DOWN and INTORT. If RSO doesn't work, your face will move down instead (chin down) and move your face to the left and tild so that your eye looks in without having to intort it.
If pt has RIO paresis, what will pt do to compensate?
Face turn left, chin up, head tilt right

RIO makes pt look up and out. If pt cannot do that, they will move face up and to the left, and tilt to the RIGHT!

correct RE
add minus lenses for pts too young to do VT

AC


most non-comitant deviatiosn do not have AC
T/F Hess Lancaster is an OBJECTIVE test
FALSE

SUBJECTIVE
Which light determiens the fixating eye during the Hess Lancaster test?
examiner's light

Pt light determines the muscle field

EACH block represents 7 pd at 1 meter
Explain Hess Lancaster test
when examiner uses green light and makes pts OS fixate, the OS is forced to reach each of the 9 positions on the screen, THUS OD muscle action is meaasred and plotted via Herrings law.

This is a direct projection

then the pt and dr switch flashlights to repeat procedure and plot OS muscle field
How do you analyze the results of the Hess Lancaster test?
Analysis
Find plot with smaller field
Find greatest deviation from normal
Identify muscle(s) at fault
For each under-action there should be an overaction in the same DAF of the opposite eye (in non-comitant paretic deviations)
What does this Hess Lancaster result mean?
INFERIOR OBLIQUE PARESIS

first find the field with the SMALLER plot (right field)
then find the BIGGEST difference between two points (IO)

Thus its a RIGHT inferior Oblique paresis

(Notice the OVERACTION due to herring's law on the left side)
wHAT DOES this Hess Lancaster result mean?
A pattern ESOTROPIA
____________ test works est for recent onset, noncomitant strabs within 6 motnhs of onset
Red lens or Red glass test
What 2 questions do you ask pt during red lens test?
where is diplopia greatest?

Which light is MOST farthrest away from center to the pt?

The position of GREATEST diplopa identfies 3 possible muscles.

the most DISTAL light identifies the problem eye.

example: diplopia is worse in RIGHT gaze (RLR or LMR).
Red lens is FURTHEST away (means the RIGHT eye is the problem eye)
RLR problem
What does this result from Red lens test mean?
Diplopia is greatest on RIGHT gaze ( RLR or LMR)

RED light is farthest away! (RIGHT EYE PROBLEM)

Thus its RLR
What does this Red Lens test result mean?
RSR problem!!

Diplopia was worse up and to the right (either RSR or LIO)
R lens is furthest away, so its right eye is deviationg
THEREFORE" RSR problem --> muscle is underacting so the eye is hypo and right light seen aboe green
