Abstract

Methods for diagnosis and treatment are provided for a patient having processing difficulties, integration problems, imbalances or abnormal postures. In one embodiment, a patient is identified having retinal signal problems creating at least one negative medical condition. Then, at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s lacrimal drainage system is blocked or altered. Further, as a result of the diagnosis and treatment, the patient achieves improved retinal signal processing and at least one of the patient'"'"'s negative medical conditions is improved. Other embodiments include using in combination the Z-Bell Test and/or light blocking or altering devices for diagnosis and treatment.

Claims

1. A method for an auditory test for a patient, comprising the steps of:

instructing the patient to close the patient'"'"'s eyes;

selecting a location in front of the patient within a test zone between the patient'"'"'s shoulders and above the patient'"'"'s armpits;

using a means for generating a sound to create a sound at the selected location;

instructing the patient to locate the device generating the sound with at least one of the patient'"'"'s fingers;

scoring the test results and repeating the test as required for different selected locations,

analyzing the test results; and

diagnosing sensory linkages of non-visual fibers.

2. The method of claim 1 whereby the means for generating a sound is a bell.
