Neuroanatomical structures and eye movements

1 February 2019 | Fiona Rowe (Prof) | EYE - Paediatrics, EYE - Strabismus

The aim of this study was to review and critically discuss the role of ocular proprioception in oculomotor control and development of eye motility disorders. The authors considered proprioception, structure and proprioceptors of eye muscles, singly and multiply innervated muscle fibres, muscle spindles, palisade endings and clinical studies. They specifically included studies of patients with strabismus in the course of their surgical or pharmacology treatment that provide evidence regarding functional implications of changes in proprioceptive signals from the extraocular muscles.
