Video-oculographic measures of eye movement control in the smooth pursuit neck torsion test can classify idiopathic neck pain patients from healthy individuals: A datamining based diagnostic accuracy study
Idiopathic neck pain patients frequently experience oculomotor disfunctions with deficits in eye movement control between neutral and neck torsion position (SPNT test) being commonly investigated in clinical and research settings.The aim of the study was to determine accuracy of SPNT test in classifying idiopathic neck pain patients.a datamining based diagnostic accuracy study.The study was conducted on a referred sample of 38 chronic neck pain patients from orthopaedic outpatient clinic and 40 healthy controls. Video-oculography was used to study gain and SPNTGain during two target movement profiles at velocities of 30°sSPNT test provides useful diagnostic tool for classifying neck pain patients when using single or combination of two target movement profiles. Neck torsion of 45° as opposed to 30° should be used during SPNT test when investigating patients with neck pain disorders.
