👀 Gaze Shifting [VORx1 Regression] | Theory & Demonstration

The video tutorial explains the use of gaze shifting as one of the three major adaptation exercises in vestibular rehabilitation. It is a regression of the VOR times one exercise, used for patients with severe symptoms or impaired gaze stabilization. The tutorial provides detailed instructions on setting up and performing gaze shifting, including the use of X papers for visual fixation. It also covers the technique of alternating saccadic eye movements followed by head movements, and offers guidance on adjusting the exercise's difficulty and progressing to VOR times one.
