The present study investigated vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), optokinetic reflex (OKR) and postural function in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Compared with controls, no differences in gaze-holding, VOR gain or phase, OKR slow phase velocity (SPV) or quick phase amplitude, optokinetic afternystagmus SPV or duration, or latency to the illusion of circularvection, were found. RA patients did exhibit greater sway in the leftward direction (P<0.01), however, this was no greater in the conditions of the Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction and Balance that increase reliance upon vestibular information. We conclude that RA patients do not exhibit substantial deficits in visual-vestibular function.
本研究调查了类风湿关节炎(RA)患者的前庭眼反射(VOR)、视动反射(OKR)和姿势功能。与对照组相比,在凝视保持、VOR增益或相位、OKR慢相速度(SPV)或快相幅度、视动性眼震后慢相速度或持续时间,或旋转错觉潜伏期方面未发现差异。然而,RA患者在向左方向确实表现出更大的摇摆(P<0.01),不过,在增加对前庭信息依赖的感觉交互和平衡临床测试条件下,这种摇摆并没有更大。我们得出结论,RA患者在视前庭功能方面没有表现出实质性缺陷。
