Sensitivity analysis is a procedure for examining the importance of model parameters with respect to the input or output of the model. Presented is a sensitivity analysis of a recently updated fourth order linear homeomorphic oculomotor model. Each muscle is modeled as a viscoelastic parallel combination connected to an active state tension generator, viscosity element and length tension element parallel combination. The eyeball is modeled as a sphere with a moment of inertia which is connected to two voight elements in series. The sensitivity analysis revealed the parameters of the model obtained from mathematical analysis are acceptable to be used as nominal parameters. Consequently, the analytical parameters can vary considerably while allowing the model to perform as empirical data predicts.
