| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is to assess the impairment of Alzheimer’s disease patients to recognize optic flow and get some basic information which we can use to make secure environment for the patients.[Methods] Nine patients with Alzheimer’s disease and 9 healthy control persons were participated. On a screen placed in front of each participant, the condition stimulus showed a fixation point in the center of screen. The test stimulus showed the center of optic flow 20 deg away from the fixation point randomly in the upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right quadrants.
Participants indicated the center of the flow with a long stick.Exploratory eye movements and fixation points were recorded using an eye mark recorder.The distance between the center of optic flow and each fixation point, θ was calculated.
[Results] Five out of 9 patients showed remarkably larger θ in one of the 4 quadrants.The quadrant in which larger θ appeared was different across the patients.
