PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of four weeks of gaze stabilization exercises and balance training on the static and dynamic balance functions.METHODS: The study was an assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial conducted at Daegu University in South Korea.Thirty subjects who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected and divided randomly into three groups containing ten each.The first group received balance exercises with gaze stabilizing exercises (BGG).The second group received a balance exercise (BEG), and the third group received gaze-stabilizing exercise (GEG).Each group exercised for 40 minutes, three times a week for four weeks.The subjects were asked to complete the following static balance test: 1) one-leg standing test, 2) sharpened Romberg test, dynamic balance test, 3) Y-balance test, and 4) single-leg standsquat-stand test.The static and dynamic balance were
