Does Optokinetic Training Work?

Results. Among the trained subjects, 71.4% were improved by optokinetic training versus 12.5% of control subjects. A significant difference was observed for Graybiel scores before and after optokinetic training in the training arm.

What do Optokinetic exercises do?

Purpose: Treating vestibular dysfunction with optokinetic stimulation (OKS) has been suggested as both efficient and effective. It is based on the theory that a sensory conflict situation can force central compensation of a diseased vestibular system to yield successful balance.

What is Optokinetic stimulation?

A form of intervention for USN that involves the observation of moving visual targets to encourage visual scanning of the neglected hemispace. A computer screen is typically used to display a leftward moving background of dots or strips in order to produce the illusions of visual stimuli being displaced to the right.
