The neuroClues® Team
A consortium of neurologists was formed with the aim to design and validate a novel Scale for Ocular motor Disorders in Ataxia (SODA).
The primary purpose of the scale is to identify ocular motor dysfunctions in patients with cerebellar ataxia.
The researchers revealed in the study that the scale reliably measured the extent of saccade abnormalities and nystagmus.
Researchers came to the conclusion that careful clinical examination of eye movements in patients with neurodegenerative disorders is an invaluable adjunct to neurological and cognitive assessments. Laboratory recordings of eye movements can provide valuable information about disease severity and progression.
As reported in Table 1 below, eye movement abnormalities are common in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) and reflect the combination of pure cerebellar degeneration and involvement of other brain regions.
