To evaluate whether smooth pursuit eye movements differed between patients with long-lasting whiplash-associated disorders and controls when using a purely computerized method for the eye movement analysis.
Cross-sectional study comparing patients with whiplash-associated disorders and controls who had not been exposed to head or neck trauma and had no notable neck complaints.
Smooth pursuit eye movements were registered while the subjects were seated with and without rotated cervical spine.
Thirty-four patients with whiplash-associated disorders with symptoms more than six months after a car collision and 60 controls.
Smooth pursuit eye movements were almost identical in patients with chronic whiplash-associated disorders and controls, both when the neck was rotated and in the neutral position.
Disturbed smooth pursuit eye movements do not appear to be a distinct feature in patients with chronic whiplash-associated disorders. This is in contrast to results of previous studies and may be due to the fact that analyses were performed in a computerized and objective manner. Other possible reasons for the discrepancy to previous studies are discussed.
当使用一种纯计算机化方法进行眼动分析时，评估长期挥鞭样损伤相关疾病患者与对照组之间的平稳跟踪眼动是否存在差异。
一项横断面研究，比较挥鞭样损伤相关疾病患者与未遭受头部或颈部创伤且无明显颈部不适的对照组。
在受试者颈椎旋转和未旋转的情况下，记录其平稳跟踪眼动。
34例在汽车碰撞后症状持续超过6个月的挥鞭样损伤相关疾病患者和60例对照组。
无论是颈部旋转还是处于中立位置时，慢性挥鞭样损伤相关疾病患者与对照组的平稳跟踪眼动几乎相同。
平稳跟踪眼动障碍似乎并非慢性挥鞭样损伤相关疾病患者的一个显著特征。这与先前研究结果相反，可能是由于分析是以计算机化和客观的方式进行的。还讨论了与先前研究结果存在差异的其他可能原因。
