An Affordable Method for Evaluation of Ataxic Disorders Based on Electrooculography

Alberto López, Francisco Ferrero, Octavian Postolache; Sensors 2019, 19(17), 3756; doi:10.3390/s19173756

This paper reports an affordable ataxic disorders evaluation method based on the processing of EOG, which could be used to replace the traditional naked-eye method. The EOG, combined with a computer application, may be a useful for testing a patient’s eye coordination and identifying whether the subject might have some type of ataxia. The results obtained show the feasibility of the proposed method as a promising clinical assessment modality for performing an objective evaluation. However, signal processing and parameter setting improvements are necessary.
