Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

vestibular habituation exercises focus on helping individual adapt to and reduce symptoms related to vestibular disorder such as improving balance , reducing dizziness and enhance overall functional abilities. ocular reflex exercises focus on improving eye movement control and coordination such as improving visual tracking , stability and Focus. This randomized clinical trial will be conducted at services hospital and Jinnah hospital for a duration of 10 months. The sample size will consist of 50 participants. 25 participants will be assigned to vestibular habituation exercise group and 25 to ocular reflex exercises group. Data will be collected using these assessment tools, including the dynamic gait index for gait stability, the fall efficacy scale for fear of fall, and dizziness handicap inventory for dizziness severity. Pre-intervention assessments will be conducted for all two groups. The effects of the interventions will be measured at baseline ,in the 3rd week ,post intervention, after 6 weeks, and at a 9th week follow up. Data analysis will be performed by using SPSS 26 software

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

GROUP A Vestibular Habituation Exercises

Group A will receive 24 sessions of vestibular habituation exercises, delivered 4 times weekly for six weeks, each session lasting 30 minutes. Effects will be measured at baseline, in the 3rd week, post-intervention, after six weeks, and at a 9th-week follow-up.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Vestibular Habituation Exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

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.

GROUP B Ocular Reflex exercises

Group B will receive ocular reflex exercises. A total of 24 sessions (4x/week for 6 weeks) will be conducted , lasting 50-60 minutes each. The effects will be measured at baseline, in the 3rd week, post intervention, after six weeks, and at a 9th-week follow-up.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ocular Reflex Excercises

Intervention Type OTHER

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.
