• Seeing clearly requires more than just being able to focus on an object
• Acuity is affected during dynamic activities early postflight
• Dynamic visual acuity is affected by multiple variables

Passive DVA Test
Because• 2 of 3 ISS crewmembers couldn’t
walk on the treadmill at 1.8 m/s
• “Active” nature of the test could mask deficits (Herdman et al. 2001)
We created a passive DVA test• vertical oscillations• frequency & magnitude mimic walking

Passive DVA Test Results #1
Vertical Oscillation (2Hz, 5cm)
Target Distance = 2 m
Display Duration: 75 ms centered around peak velocity
Comparison: Control vs. Patients w/ vestibular dysfunction
No Difference in DVA Between the Groups

Passive DVA Test Results #2
Vertical Oscillation (2Hz, 5cm)
Target Distance = 4 m
Display Duration: 75 ms & 500 ms
Comparison: Control vs. Patients w/ vestibular dysfunction
Difference in DVA only during 500 ms condition
Conclusion: Control subjects make better use of low velocity portion of perturbation

Conclusions
• Acuity is affected in returning crewmembers because of an inability to stabilize gaze
• Advantages of computer-based acuity test include: randomized optotype orientations NEAR and FAR viewing distances triggered display
• DVA is affected by target distance display timing & duration active vs. passive perturbation
