| Figure 4: Cartoon of gaze stabilization exercises in the yaw plane. Adaptation exercises require the individual to fixate on a visual target (indicated by the letter ‘A’) during either horizontal or vertical head movement, which are performed for one minute at a time. The individual first completes the exercises with a target affixed to a wall 6-10 feet away. During the second exercise, the individual holds the target at eye level. These vestibular adaptation exercises are designed to improve gaze stability through long-term changes in the gain of the remaining vestibular system in response to input or the development of alternative strategies. |
