Abstract(s)
A esclerose múltipla (EM) é uma doença incapacitante que afeta o sistema nervoso, levando à perda de capacidades fisiológicas, tais como atividades motoras básicas.
É comum encontrar anomalias oculomotoras num paciente com EM, o que pode levar a problemas no processo de leitura, pois para uma leitura confortável é necessário que os movimentos oculares não tenham qualquer anomalia. O teste Adult Developmental Eye Movement with distractors (ADEMd) é um teste de leitura que permite averiguar se existem ou não alterações nos movimentos oculares por análise dos tempos de leitura.
Estudaram-se os resultados do teste ADEMd realizados por 29 sujeitos portadores da doença e compararam-se com 40 sujeitos saudáveis. Verificou-se que os portadores de EM demoram mais tempo na leitura das placas, sendo estas diferenças mais significativas, entre os dois grupos, nas placas horizontal e horizontal com distratores. Procedeu-se ainda à construção de uma função discriminante que permita classificar um novo indivíduo num dos grupos.

The Adult Developmental Eye Movement with distractors (ADEMd) test is a reading test that allows the discovery of changes in eye movements by analyzing the reading times. The results of ADEMd tests of 29 subjects with MS were studied and compared with the results of 40 healthy subjects. It was found that there are more differences between the two groups in the horizontal and horizontal with distractors plates, with an increase of the reading time for subjects with MS. A discriminant function was built in order to allow the classification of new subjects as belonging to one of the groups.
