Summary
Earlier investigations showed the optimal parameters for the optokinetic test with accelerated stimuli. The acceleration is 1.2 degrees/s2 and the maximum stimulus velocity is 40 degrees/s.
As we can show now, this test for patients is much more difficult than the tests with constant velocities. As a result we gain more pathologic results. We compared the accelerated tests with constant velocities of 20, 40, and 60 degrees/s.
