Preview: Motility Basics Simulation

This course is in power point format and includes multiple simulations of motility problems that you might encounter in the clinic setting. These simulations are included to aid in your understanding of how to identify, label, and measure motility. They mimic real motility situations so that you may follow along and see how to identify motility issues while having it explained to you. Once you have completed this course you should be able to perform basic motility testing and label eso and exo deviations in your clinic.

Please note that you will need the most updated power point viewer on your computer to view the slides in this course. This viewer may be downloaded for free by using the link on our homepage.

This course has been awarded 1.5 JCAHPO credit hours. It is intended for beginning and intermediate levels. The student should be able to demonstrate the following concepts:
  • Define Motility
  • Identify the 9 postions for testing versions
  • Describe why the pupil light reflex is important in assesing motility and versions
  • Identify abnormal versions and state which position is abnormal
  • Define Eso, Exo, Hyper, Phoria, and Tropia
  • Document Esophorias, Exophorias, Esotropias, and Exotropias correctly
  • Identify how to document straight eyes
  • Explain how to do Hirschberg and Krimsky measurements
  • Identify deviations in diopters by Hirschberg estimation
  • Describe how to perform the Cover/Uncover test
  • Correctly identify esophoria, exophoria, esotropia, exotropia and ortho eyes on cover/uncover test simulations

Here is what some ophthalmic personnel who took this course had to say:

"This was great. If you are rusty, it will definately bring it all back." M.P., COMT

"Very good graphics, easy to understand." K.K., op. photo.

"Good animation/simulation" S.B., COT

"Very helpful due to the visuals" K.F., COT

"Excellent technique!" E.C., COMT

This course should take approximately one and a half hours to complete.

Upon completion of this section the student will take a post-test that will test his/her knowledge of the items mentioned above. You must correctly answer at least 15 of the 20 questions on the open book post test to earn credit. If you do not successfully pass the post test the first time you may try again at no expense to you.

Successful completion of the post-test is required to receive JCAHPO credit.
