Gaze Stabilization Exercises

Gaze group performed balance exercises with gaze stability exercise.Gaze stability exercises included two types of exercises vestibular adaptation and substitution exercises. In Adaptation exercises individual need to fixate on a visual target during horizontal and vertical head movement with a purpose of increasing gaze stability and a long term gain to vestibular system. Subsitution exercises are planned to use other eye movement stratigies to substitute vestibular function and sustained visual fixation. During Substitution exercises individual need to perfomed eye head movement between target with a purpose of clear sighting during these tasks. Balance exercises consist of both static and dynamic balance exercises with weekly progression making balance exercises more challenging.
