Neck Integration and Eye Movement Training for Fall Risk in the Elderly

"he exercise program begins at 30% of 1RM, progressing by first increasing repetitions (8-10 up to 8-12) and then intensity (+5% of 1RM). Training sessions include a 5-minute warm-up, 20 minutes of exercise, and a 5-minute cool-down, performed twice per week for 30 minutes per session.~Neck strengthening is performed using the Iron Neck, which provides constant resistance. Exercises include maintaining a neutral neck position, protraction-retraction, left-right rotation, dynamic figure-8 movements, and synchronized 360° head-body rotations. Each exercise consists of two sets of 8-12 repetitions, with 30 seconds rest between repetitions and 1 minute between sets.~After neck training, participants in the intervention group perform oculomotor saccade tasks while maintaining a neutral head position. Five visual targets appear randomly in front of the participant for 1 second each. The task lasts 40 seconds, followed by 1-2 minutes of rest, and is repeated three times."
