Forced Duction Test in Clinical Practice

Abstract

In cases of ocular motor disturbance, where the history points to a possible mechanical cause, the relatively simple forced duction test will often provide sufficient diagnostic information without any necessity for electromyography.

“…The FDT has been used for many years to differentiate between paretic and restrictive cause of reduced extraocular movement [ 8 ]. A positive FDT indicates the presence of mechanical factors as a cause of limited ocular motility.…”
