2.5.3. To improve gait training.
head movements
Gait exercises that were carried out during a period of 1 to 4 weeks included walking at different speeds, walking, and then turning, walking forward and backward, sideways walking, walking in a circle, walking with head movements in the horizontal and vertical positions, walking, and talking. For 5 to 8 weeks, the level of these exercises was advanced by adding more challenging conditions, that is, changing base of support by moving from a firm surface to a foam surface and by going open eyes to closed eyes. A total of 24 sessions with 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks were performed. The patients exercised for 30 minutes during each session. The patients receiving VRT also had general physical therapy treatment for 30 minutes per day, 3 days per week for 8 weeks.
