“…Visual impairments were assessed by the Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (Beery VMI) (76–78), by standard clinical tests for visual acuity (Snellen chart) (79) and visual fields (confrontation and if in question, Goldman or Humphrey visual field testing) (80). Participants were also assessed for hemi-spatial neglect via the Schenkenberg’s line bisection test (81) and the single-letter cancelation test (82).…”

Eye Control Deficits Coupled to Hand Control Deficits: Eye–Hand Incoordination in Chronic Cerebral Injury

et al. 2017

It is widely accepted that cerebral pathology can impair ocular motor and manual motor control. This is true in indolent and chronic processes, such as neurodegeneration and in acute processes such as stroke or those secondary to neurotrauma. More recently, it has been suggested that disruptions in these control systems are useful markers for prognostication and longitudinal monitoring. The utility of examining the relationship or the coupling between these systems has yet to be determined. We measured eye and hand-movement control in chronic, middle cerebral artery stroke, relative to healthy controls, in saccade-to-reach paradigms to assess eye–hand coordination. Primary saccades were initiated significantly earlier by stroke participants relative to control participants. However, despite these extremely early initial saccades to the target, reaches were nevertheless initiated at approximately the same time as those of control participants. Control participants minimized the time period between primary saccade onset and reach initiation, demonstrating temporal coupling between eye and hand. In about 90% of all trials, control participants produced no secondary, or corrective, saccades, instead maintaining fixation in the terminal position of the primary saccade until the end of the reach. In contrast, participants with stroke increased the time period between primary saccade onset and reach initiation. During this temporal decoupling, multiple saccades were produced in about 50% of the trials with stroke participants making between one and five additional saccades. Reaches made by participants with stroke were both longer in duration and less accurate. In addition to these increases in spatial reach errors, there were significant increases in saccade endpoint errors. Overall, the magnitude of the endpoint errors for reaches and saccades were correlated across participants. These findings suggest that in individuals with otherwise intact visual function, the spatial and temporal relationships between the eye and hand are disrupted poststroke, and may need to be specifically targeted during neurorehabilitation. Eye–hand coupling may be a useful biomarker in individuals with cerebral pathology in the setting of neurovascular, neurotraumatic, and neurodegenerative pathology.

“…Remote cognitive assessment of adult-onset dementias by telephone or videoconferencing has been demonstrated to be as accurate as in-person evaluation and correlates well with standard cognitive assessments such as the Mini-Mental Status Exam. 22,23 Telemedicine delivery of health care is also rated by patients and caregivers as satisfactory 24,25 In addition, remote assessment has been used to obtain estimates of cognitive function in intellectually disabled adults - Temple et al 26 found on average only one Intelligence Quotient point difference between remote versus in-person evaluations, which is negligible. There is less known about remote cognitive assessment of children.…”

Remote Assessment of Cognitive Function in Juvenile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (Batten disease)

et al. 2015

Remote technology provides an opportunity to extend the reach of clinical care and research for pediatric rare disease. This pilot study evaluated the feasibility and reliability of neuropsychological evaluation, using remote audiovisual technology, in the assessment of children with juvenile Batten disease. Three children with Batten disease and one healthy sibling completed a standardized cognitive assessment. Results indicated high agreement between an in-person and a remote evaluator, when comparing the subjects’ cognitive test scores. This initial test of remote cognitive assessment suggests it is feasible and reliable in children with pediatric neurodegenerative disease, for whom disease burden may limit travel and access to expert care and/or clinical trials.

“…In the last decade there has also been increased emphasis on providing social and health care resources in the North where remote communities (often aboriginal or Inuit) can sometimes be accessed only by plane. Researchers in Ontario recently demonstrated that clinical assessments conducted through videoconferencing are valid and cost-efficient ways of addressing the clinical concerns of adults with IDD (Temple, Drummond, Valiquette, & Jozsvai, 2010).…”

A comparison of intellectual assessments over video conferencing and in‐person for individuals with ID: preliminary data

Abstract: Video conferencing administration does not appear to alter test results significantly for overall score on a brief intelligence test or a test of visual-motor integration.
