A method for operating a nystagmus testing device, the method comprising:
- receiving a start signal to start a nystagmus routine, the nystagmus routine including a plurality of tests,
- illuminating, in response to receiving the start signal, an indicator indicative of a corresponding test of the nystagmus routine,
- conducting, in response to receiving the start signal, the corresponding test by (i) moving a visual stimulus on a front display of the nystagmus testing device facing a test subject and (ii) moving a visual tracker on a rear display of the nystagmus testing device facing a test administrator,
- recording, in response to conducting the corresponding test, data associated with the corresponding test, and
- advancing to a next test of the nystagmus routine.
A nystagmus testing device comprising:
- a camera configured to face a test subject to capture eye movements of the test subject,
- a start button configured to start a nystagmus routine, the nystagmus routine including a plurality of tests,
- a front display positioned to face the test subject configured to display a visual stimulus,
- a rear display positioned to face a test administrator configured to display a visual tracker, and
- a controller configured to control movements of the visual stimulus and the visual tracker on the front and rear displays, respectively, and generate data related to the nystagmus routine and the test subject.
A nystagmus testing system comprising:
- a telescopic pole, and
- a nystagmus testing device supported on the pole, wherein the nystagmus testing device includes:
- a housing including a front display positioned to face a test subject and a rear display positioned to face a test administrator,
- a camera mounted on the housing,
- a start button configured to start a nystagmus routine, the nystagmus routine includes a plurality of tests, and
- a controller configured to control the front and rear displays.
