ABSTRACT
Ocular torsion was measured in five subjects during sinusoidal lateral tilt (amplitude 25 degrees, 0.2 Hz). The cervical contribution to ocular torsion was best visible as the difference between the signals obtained in conditions with only head tilt and conditions with whole body tilt. Contribution of the neck did not affect the slow component, but produced an anticompensatory modulation of the beating field offset by means of saccades (analogous to gaze shift). Static tilt conditions (25 degrees tilt) of the trunk only, the head only or the whole body showed similar data, although of smaller amplitude. The results from patients suffering from post-whiplash syndrome were similar to those of healthy subjects, showing large intersubject variability. The reduced tolerance to head tilt of whiplash patients restricts useful implementation of this sort of test in the clinic.
