Introduction: Eye movement pathology can assist in the identification, diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders. Eyetracking
paradigms have been utilized to provide greater ecological validity, and directly capture the detailed sequence of processes
in perception and attention, while quantifying classifiers in mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders. Saccadic eye movements serve as
an endophenotype for various mental health disorders.
Subjects and methods: Patients suffering from post-concussive syndrome and mental health concerns performed saccadic eye
movements that were quantified for amplitude, velocity, latency and accuracy before and after Head-Eye Vestibular Motion
therapy (HEVM).
Results: HEVM therapy is associated with statistical and substantive significant improvements in mental health and in
saccadic metrics.
Conclusions: Oculomotor dysfunction is related to the symptom dimensions of mental health disorders that may be treated with
physical rehabilitation modalities. We feel it reasonable to suggest that psychiatrists and others involved in the treatment of mental
health disorders quantify eye movements and use them as biomarkers in the evaluation of the outcomes of varied therapies.
