摘要
Vertical and horizontal saccadic (SEMv, SEMh) and smooth pursuit eye movements (SPEM) were recorded in 66 normal subjects of different ages using a computerized system. No difference was found in SEMh recordings for the right versus the left eye or for gaze direction. In contrast, SEMv recordings of upgaze vs. downgaze showed a significant difference in performance index (peak velocity) and delay. SEMh and SEMv performance index;and delay were significantly slowed in elderly subjects, although accuracy was not affected. SPEM analysis also revealed a decrease in velocity in elderly people indicating diminished tracking ability as a result of the aging process. These data suggest that senescence may influence some SEM and SPEM parameters. We thus emphasize the usefulness of having reliable normative data corrected for age.
