Effects of Various Eye Movement Training on Selective Functional Movement Assessment

Purpose: This study examined the effects of various eye movement training programs on functional movement patterns, as evaluated by the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA).Methods: The immediate effects were examined by asking the subjects to perform a single session of structured eye movement training, including saccades, smooth pursuit, and gaze stabilization exercises.SFMA was administered before and immediately after the intervention to assess the changes in movement dysfunction. Results:The participants showed significant improvements in the SFMA scores, with a notable decrease in dysfunctional non-painful movement patterns.These improvements were associated with enhanced neuromuscular control and visual-motor coordination.Conclusion: These findings suggest that eye movement training can improve the functional movement patterns as assessed by SFMA.The integration of visual and motor control through targeted training may enhance neuroplasticity and movement efficiency.This approach may be helpful in rehabilitation to prevent injury and improve movement quality.
