Article Abstract
This study aims to assess oculomotor and vestibular endurance by utilizing the Oculomotor and Vestibular Endurance Screening (MoVES) assessment in athletes' pre-season and post-season and after a suspected head injury to detect impairment. Athletes ( = 311, 19.4 ± 1.3 years) were recruited to perform the following seven tasks: (1) horizontal saccades, (2) vertical saccades, (3) vergence jumps, (4) horizontal vestibular-oculomotor reflex (VOR), (5) vertical VOR, (6) amplitude of accommodation (AoA), and (7) near point of convergence (NPC). At pre-season, the observed number of eye movements in 60 s are horizontal saccades (74 ± 13 initial 30 s; 67 ± 11 latter 30 s), vertical saccades (70 ± 13; 66 ± 10), vergence jumps (48 ± 12; 45 ± 13), horizontal VOR (38 ± 11; 38 ± 11), and vertical VOR (8 ± 11; 38 ± 11). These results establish a normative database for eye movements within the MoVES assessment and show consistency in the number of movements from pre-season to post-season. The initial results show a trending decrease in the number of eye movements in the initial days post-head injury, which improves to pre-season measures 14-21 days post-injury. This foundation can be used by future studies to explore the extent of binocular and vestibular endurance dysfunctions caused by head injuries that subside within two weeks.

This study aimed to analyze the psychophysiological effects of functional neurology intervention on dysfunction in vestibular saccadic stimuli, focusing on its impact on muscle performance, psychophysiological arousal, and pain perception. Seventy-five healthy volunteer participants were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group that received functional neurology treatment and a control group that did not. Both groups underwent the same evaluations at four distinct time points.

Background And Purpose: An adapted version of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries (STEADI) fall prevention initiative was implemented for older adults ≥ 65 years of age attending 34 outpatient physical therapy clinics in a large state-wide health system.
Methods: We explored physical therapists' (PTs) use and perceived determinants of implementation of an adapted version of STEADI using an explanatory mixed-methods approach (n = 50 surveys, 13 interviews). We analyzed survey data using descriptive statistics and mapped interview data to Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research 2.
Upon landing after long-duration spaceflight, astronauts often experience motion sickness and impaired performance in mission-critical tasks such as egress, navigating obstacles, jumping, and recovering from falls. These changes are mainly attributable to central adaptations in their vestibular system. Current inflight countermeasures, which primarily focus on strength and endurance, are insufficient for preparing astronauts for postflight recovery.

Objective: To investigate the long-term effects of vestibular exercises (VE), cervical stabilization exercises (CSE) and standard balance exercises (SBE) on balance, gait and fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Methods: Thirty-five patients were randomly allocated to three groups, performing different exercises three days a week for 12 weeks. Assessments were conducted at baseline, at Week 12 and at a 6-month follow-up using the Functional Reach Test (FRT), Four-Square Step Test (FSST), 2-Minute Walk Test (2MWT), Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS).

Background: Cognitive dysfunction is prevalent but inadequately treated in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Central vestibular functions are associated with multiple cognitive domains in PwMS, even when controlling for disability status. To our knowledge, the effectiveness of vestibular training on cognition in PwMS has never been explored.
