Abstract:
A method for balance enhancement through vestibular, visual, proprioceptive, and cognitive stimulation is provided. This method incorporates head movements in three planes and provides a series of programs for enhancing the vestibular ocular reflex (VOR), dynamic visual acuity, visual pursuit, and associated cognition using these head movements. These programs incorporate (1) head movement with stable image identification, (2) head movement with stable image identification with distractions, (3) head movement with stable image identification and varied body position, (4) data/image identification with varied target frequency, (5) data/image identification with varied screen position, (6) data/image identification with varied target position, and (7) task, memory, and cognitive processing requirements.
