Our balance is influenced by several systems: the vestibular system, the somatosensory system, and the visual system. Any one of these systems can malfunction and lead to dizziness, difficulty walking, imbalance, and falls. Our vestibular system provides our brain with information about motion, head position, and orientation in space. When our vestibular system is damaged, balance, control of eye movements while our head is moving, and our sense of orientation in space can all be adversely affected. The goal of vestibular rehabilitation is to retrain the brain to recognize and process signals from the vestibular system and coordinate them with vision and sensation. 1  \nWhen performing exercises on your own, there are some things to consider:  \n• Consult your Physician or Physical Therapist if you have any questions or concerns about the exercises you are performing.  \n• Perform all exercises seated or near a wall or counter for support and safety.  \n• Many of the exercises should cause a mild to moderate increase in dizziness for only a few seconds. This slight increase in symptoms in the short-term is what helps the brain make permanent changes to decrease dizziness in the long-term.  \n• If you do the exercises and you feel no increase in dizziness, then you might be able to make the exercise a little harder or you may not need to perform it anymore.  \n• Tell your physical therapist if you become nauseated or develop a headache during the exercises, or if your symptoms do not decrease to baseline level within 15-20 minutes.2  \n1 Purves D, Augustine GJ, Fitzpatrick D, et al., editors.

Published 2019  \nPencil Push Ups3  \nInstructions:  \n• Hold a pencil at arm’s length away while focusing on a wall behind it  \n• Switch your focus to the tip of the pencil  \n• Maintain clear focus of the pencil and begin moving it towards you  \n• Continue moving the pencil towards you until you lose focus and see two pencils  \n• Hold the pencil still at this point and focus on it for 10 seconds  \n• Return to the starting position and repeat  \n• Perform for 1 minute  \n3 Momeni-Moghaddam H, Kundart J, Azimi A, Hassanyani F.

When your eyes are in focus they should see one yellow bead, two red beads, and two green beads. Shown below in image 1.  \n• Now focus on the green bead. When your eyes are in focus they should see one green bead, two yellow beads, and two red beads. Shown below in image 2.  \n• Now focus on the red bead. When your eyes are in focus they should see one red bead, two green beads, and two yellow beads. Shown below in image 3.  \n• Continue practicing shifting between beads, making sure you are able to achieve focus on the bead before moving on.  \n4 Scheiman M, Kulp MT, Cotter SA, Lawrenson JG, Wang L, Li T.
