| Description |
Square-wave jerks, also called Gegenrucke, are a common finding in healthy persons, particularly the elderly. They have a typical profile on eye movement records, and it is this profile from which their name is derived. They are small, conjugate saccades, ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 degrees in size, that take the eye away from the fixation position and return it after about 200 milliseconds. They are often more prominent during smooth pursuit, are most easily detected during ophthalmoscopy, and are also present in darkness. |
