Course Description
The integration of visual and vestibular systems is essential for maintaining balance, coordination, and spatial orientation. In this session, Jeremy Schmoe explores the role of the Optokinetic Response in neurological function and rehabilitation. Participants will examine how moving visual stimuli can influence sensory processing and brain activity. The lecture reviews how optokinetic stimulation is used in clinical settings to support rehabilitation of patients with neurological dysfunction. By understanding how visual motion affects neural pathways, clinicians can incorporate optokinetic techniques into treatment programs aimed at improving balance, coordination, and sensory integration.
What you’ll learn:
- Understand the optokinetic response and its neurological role.
- Recognize how visual motion influences sensory processing.
- Identify applications of optokinetics in rehabilitation.
- Explore techniques for incorporating optokinetic stimulation.
- Apply visual-based strategies to improve neurological function.
