“…Since Aschoff s (1968) discovery that benzodiazepines slow down saccadic velocity, this result has also been reported for alcohol and some other drugs with sedation effects (Baloh et al, 1980;Drischel, 1968;mom et al, 1976;Franck & Kuhlo, 1970; Guedry et al, 1975 SchalCn et al (1988) report reduction of saccadic velocity as well as saccade latency after i.v. application of barbiturate and diazepam.…”

“…The number of times the eyes stop their pursuit of the target as well as the number of times the eye velocity exceeds the maximum speed of the pendulum by more than 33% are counted (Specchio et al, 1981). The models can be characterised by gain and phase depending on frequency in a Bode-plot (Drischel, 1968;Levett & Jaeger, 1980). The ratio of eye velocity to target velocity is considered as velocity gain and is a measure for the accuracy of smooth pursuit, i.e., how well the subject is able to match target velocity with eye velocity.…”

Le systtme vestibulo-oculomoteur est trts fragile. L'alttration de son fonctionnement rtsulte d'une intoxication chronique ou aigue provenant de drogues ou d'agents neurotoxiques. L'augmentation du taux de battement des paupitres est un indice d'imtations sensorielles. Auui bien Ies techniques d'enregistrement des mouvements de I'oeil que plusieurs tests concernant les systbmes optico-moteur et vestibulooculomoteur sont examints a partir de leurs applications en mtdecine du travail.The vestibulo-oculomotor system is very sensitive to injury. Impairment of its function has been described as an effect of chronic or acute intoxication with drugs or neurotoxic agents. An increase in eye-blink rate indicates sensory imtations. Eye-movement recording techniques as well as several tests of the opto-motor and the vestibulo-oculomotor system are outlined and reviewed with regard to their applications in occupational medicine.
