Effects of Oculomotor Exercises in Patients With Non Traumatic Cervical Dizziness

Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides: The patient sat upright and actively moved the head in the direction that provoked dizziness. The therapist applied a sustained anterior glide to the targeted C1 or C2 vertebra during the movement. The technique was performed initially for 3 repetitions and progressed to 6 repetitions, with gentle overpressure added as tolerated. Oculomotor Exercises: The intervention included saccadic eye movements, smooth pursuit training, gaze stabilization, and head-eye coordination exercises. These exercises were performed with the head and/or eyes moving in controlled directions to improve gaze stability, eye-head coordination, and sensorimotor control.
