Research project funded to study neural pathways affected by gaze stabilization exercises to improve safety in dizziness patients and reduce fall risk.
Description
The project examines the neural pathways impacted by gaze stabilization exercises, which negatively affect body sway in healthy adults, potentially increasing fall risk. It aims to understand off-axis neural pathways and develop safe exercise prescriptions for dizziness patients by comparing VOR adaptation techniques and assessing postural effects in different contexts.
