Visual Vertical vs W Card Sorting Test

Visual Vertical makes high-grade subjective visual vertical (SVV) testing accessible to every practitioner — no expensive equipment required. SVV testing is a sensitive, validated measure for brainstem lesions and otolithic dysfunction, widely used in neurology and vestibular rehabilitation. Until now, accurate testing required bulky, costly apparatus. Visual Vertical changes that: all you need is your iPhone, a bucket, and a small piece of Blu Tack. How it works Mount your iPhone inside the bottom of a bucket using Blu Tack. The patient holds the bucket to their face and adjusts a line on screen until it appears vertical to them. The app records the deviation and calculates your result — accurate readings in minutes, at a fraction of the traditional cost. What you can measure - Left eye, right eye, or both eyes open - Single readings or full sequences across all conditions - One or three readings per condition, with automatic averaging Clean, minimal results screens make it easy to record and communicate findings.

The W Card Sorting Task (WCST) is used primarily to assess perseveration and abstract thinking, the WCST is also considered a measure of executive function because of its reported sensitivity to frontal lobe dysfunction. Test instruction: Each card has three stimulus parameters (color, mark, and number). Respondents are required to sort cards according to different principles and to alter their approach during test. Results: Results are reported as the number of seconds required to complete the task and number of mistakes; therefore, higher scores reveal greater impairment. As such, the WCST allows you to assess respondent’s strategic planning; organized searching; and ability to utilize environmental feedback to shift cognitive sets, direct behavior toward achieving a goal, and modulate impulsive responding. A rough standard: Score is depends on age or gender however most in 120 seconds, 10 mistakes
