Q

what is the centre of rotation?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • the eye performs rotary movements around a centre of rotation within the globe
  • in the primary position the centre of rotation is located about 13.5mm behind the apex of the cornea
25
what is fick's axes ?
1- Z axis ( runs vertically through the eye ) - MR and LR - allows us to look horizontally to the right and left ( abduction and adduction ) z- horiZontal movements 2- X axis - SR, IR, IO, SO - runs horizontally through the eye - elevation and depression - allows eye to look up and down (depress) - X controls vertical eye movements 3- Y axis - runs through the middle of the eye straight through the cornea through the pupil - cyclo-rotation or torsion - IO, SO , SR ,IR
26
what is duction movement ?
- rotation of one single eye is termed duction | - movement : limited by length of muscle + tendon, edge of orbit and soft tissue of orbit
27
what does Z axis control ?
- Z axis controls horizontal eye movement ( allow you to look out ) known as abduction - also Z axis allows us to make inward movements towards the nose known as adduction- ad duction
28
what does X axis control ?
- controls vertical eye movements - allows us to look up and down - elevation ( both eyes ) or supraduction ( one eye) - depression ( both eyes) or infraduction ( one eye )
29
what does Y axis control ?
- allows us to make torsional type movements - extrosion ( both eyes turn outwards in anti-clock wise ) or excyloduction ( one eye ) - intorsion ( eye move clock wise towards the nose ) or incyloduction ( two eyes )
30
how are oblique movements ?possible
- a combination of the horizontal and vertical movements, moves the globe into various oblique positions ( up and to the right, down and to the left etc )
31
what is primary position ?
- when the eyes are looking straight ahead with body and head erect
32
what happens when a muscle axis of rotation coincides with one of fick's axis of rotation ?
- contraction of that muscle will produce a rotation purely around that particular muscle - this means that if a muscle axis of rotation coincides with the z axis then the type of movement the eye will produce will be horizontal - if it coincides with a X axis - then they type of movement the eye will produce will be purely vertical etc etc.
33
how do we know what muscles axis of rotation is ?
- comes down to the muscle plane that is muscle plane is horizontal , the muscle axis of rotation is always perpendicular ( will be vertical )
34
what is the relationship between muscle axis and muscle plane ?
- muscle axis of rotation is perpendicular to the muscle plane
35
where is muscle plane ?
- point where the muscle first touches the globe ( tangential point ) and the centre of rotation
36
what happens in primary position ?
- in primary position the horizontal rectus muscle axis of rotation completely coincides with the z-axis of rotation - as a result contraction of the muscle produces a pure rotation around the vertical axis
37
what happens when eyes look in or out (side to side)?
- the muscle axis of rotation is still coincident with z - axis - no matter where the eyes look , the lateral rectus and medial rectus will always produce completely horizontal type of eye movements - as the eyes abduct or adduct the horizontal rectus muscle axis of rotation still coincides with z-axis of rotation therefore still no vertical nor torsional component
38
what type of horizontal eye movement will be produced when the lateral rectus and medial rectis contracts ?
- when LR contracts - eyes look away from nose ( abduction ) - when MR contracts - eye will look into towards the nose ( adduction) (HORIZONTAL)
39
what is the action of the superior rectus in primary position ?
- in primary position the superior rectus muscles axis of rotation does not completely coincide with one of axes of the coordinate system ( fick's axes ) . primary action : elevation . secondary action : incycloduction . tertiary action : adduction
40
what happens when the superior rectus globe is abducted by 23 degrees ?
- when eye is abducted by 23 degrees the muscle axis of rotation is the same but fick's - axis will move because the cornea is going to look out away from the nose - X AXIS WILL ROTATE and coincide with ficks axis of rotation- turning this eye into a pure elevator - the superior rectus now becomes a pure elevator
41
what happens when the the superior rectus globe is adducted by 67 degrees?
- the muscle axis of rotation is the same - coincides with y-axis - y axis controls t ortion eye movements - the superior rectus now produces pure incyloduction
42
how many actions do SR, IR , SO , IO have in primary position ?
. the SR, IR, SO and IO have 3 actions in primary position . but when the eyes move sometimes these muscles only have one
43
what happens when the eye is adducted ?
- superior oblique produces depression | - inferior oblique produces elevation
44
what happens when eye is abducted ?
- superior rectus produces elevation | - inferior rectus produces depression
45
what is the inferior rectus muscle axis of rotation ?
- axis of rotation doesn't coincide with fick's axis - so in the primary position , inferior rectus has 3 actions - the IR axis of rotation forms an angle of about 23 degrees with the x axis and 67 degrees with the y axis
46
what are the three actions of inferior rectus in the primary position ?
- primary action: depression - secondary action: excycloduction - tertiary action : adduction
47
what happens in the inferior rectus muscle when the eye looks away from nose by 23 degrees ?
- when the globe is abducted 23 degrees - muscle axis of rotation coincides with the x axis - axis always controls vertical movements - the inferior rectus now becomes a pure depressor
48
what happens to IR when you adduct the eye by 67 degrees ?
- the muscles axis of rotation coincides with the y axis - the y axis control tortion - the inferior rectus now produces pure excyloduction
49
what is the action of the SO in the primary postion ?
- axis of rotation doesn't coincide with any of fick's axis | - the SO axis of rotation forms an angle of about 36 degrees with the y axis and 54 degrees with the x axis
50
what are the 3 actions of S0 in primary position ?
- primary action: incycloduction - secondary action : depression - tertiary action : abduction
51
what happens when to SO when abduct eye by 36 degrees ?
- the muscle axis of rotation coincides with y axis - y produces cyclo hence - the so now produces pure incyloduction
52
what happens to SO when you look in towards the nose by 54 degrees ?
- the muscle axis of rotation coincides with x axis which controls vertical movements - the SO now becomes a pure depressor
53
what is the action of the inferior oblique in primary position ?
- the IO axis of rotation forms an angle of about 39 degrees with the y axis and 51 degrees with the X axis
54
what are the 3 primary actions of IO ?
primary action : excyloduction secondary action : elevation tertiary action: abduction
55
what action does the IO muscle have when we abduct the eye by 39 degrees aways from the nose ?
- the muscle axis of rotation will coincide with the y axis | - the inferior oblique now produces pure excycloduction
56
what action does the IO muscle have when we adduct the eye by 51 degrees towards the nose ?
- the muscle axis of rotation will coincide with the x axis - the x axis controls vertical eye movement - the inferior oblique now becomes a pure elevator
57
what deviation will patient have if they had a large SR weakness ?
- the right eye will hyportropia - the eye will exotropic - the eye will become extorsion
58
what deviation will patient have if they had a large right IO weakness ?
- RE - introted - RE - hyoptropic - RE - esotropia
