Vestibular Habituation Exercises

The vestibular habituation exercise group follows a structured progression over six weeks. in week 1 participants perform large amplitude, rapid cervical rotations seated, completing 3 sets of five cycles each. By week 2, the exercises increase in complexity , incorporates standing pivots or seated trunk flexion extension. in week 3 the cervical rotations are continued with seated or standing posture. week 4 introduces a busy visual background during the exercise to challenge visual-vestibular integration. In week 5 the exercises are performed standing with the addition complex visual target against a busy background. finally week 6 includes most advance movement including standing pivots 180 degrees and brand-daroff exercises with further visual challenges of near and far targets in busy background. Each exercise session last for 2 minutes and is aimed at progressively enhancing vestibular processing and adaptability.

OTHER

Ocular Reflex Excercises

The Ocular reflex exercises focuses on enhancing visual tracking and reflexes through targeted viewing exercises. In week 1, participants perform horizontal and vertical X1 viewing exercises with a near target, holding each position for 1 minute while seated. In week 2 the duration of the X1 exercises is extended to 2 minutes with the near target still in seated position. Week 3 shift to a far target for the X1 exercises and the participants performs them while standing increasing the challenge. By week 4 the exercise incorporate both near and far target in front of a busy background. extending the duration to 2 minutes while standing. In week 5 horizontal and vertical X2 viewing exercises are added with a plain background, while still using near and far targets in front of a busy background . finally week 6 continues the X1 and X2 exercises with near and far targets in a busy background, performed for 2 minutes while standing. This aims to improve visual tracking.
