Abstract(s)

Background: Motor control deficits after stroke are associated with a decrease in recovery potential and fall episodes. Gaze stability and oculomotor exercises through vestibule-ocular reflex help to coordinate the movements of the head, trunk, and pelvis during walking improving balance. Aim of the study: To assess the effect of a domiciliary program of oculomotor and gaze stability exercises on the incidence of falls and on the risk of falls after stroke.
