1. A system for use by a clinician to perform an emergency diagnosis of a patient for a balance disorder which comprises:
a base member, wherein the base member is fixedly held over the eyes of the patient during a predetermined maneuver of the head of the patient; a position sensor mounted on the base member to provide information for identifying an orientation of the head of the patient at preselected locations during the maneuver; an optical sensor mounted on the base member for respectively viewing the eyes of the patient at a sequence of preselected locations during the maneuver; an eyetracker mounted on the base member for recording quantified eye movement data during the maneuver, wherein the quantified eye movement data is collected at each preselected location, for presentation pertinent to respective orthogonal directions; a visual display affixed to the base member for observation by the clinician during the maneuver, wherein the visual display is connected to the optical sensor to present an observable visualization of eye movements during the maneuver in real time, and is connected to the eyetracker to simultaneously present corresponding quantified eye movement data; and an audio prompt for guiding the clinician when orienting the head of the patient at each of the preselected locations in accordance with the maneuver. |
