Domiciliary gaze stability and oculomotor exercises improves balance after stroke: better balance, a randomized controlled trial. In: WCPT 2019 – World Confederation for Physical Therapy Congress, Geneva (Italy), May 10-13, 2019.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/11694Background: As mechanisms of gaze stability, both visual stabilization and the vestibulo-ocular reflex are needed to coordinate the movements of the head, trunk, and pelvis during walking. Balance impairment after stroke is strongly associated with more severely impaired motor function, a decrease in recovery potential, and an increase in the number of falls. Purpose: To verify the efficacy of a domiciliary training program to improve balance impairment due to stroke in senior patients.engPhysiotherapyRehabilitationStrokeOculomotor exerciseconference object
