简要总结
A pre and post experimental trail is planned to be conducted at an old age home, Chennai, Tamil Nadu - 600063. An informed consent will be obtained from the study population. This study includes elderly adults of both genders, aged above sixty who are able to follow instructions and participate in online sessions. Individuals with mild to moderate motor deficits identified using TUG test and the individuals who are able to access smartphone, tablet and computer with stable internet. This study excludes elderly adults with severe visual and cognitive impairment, individuals diagnosed with neurological and musculoskeletal conditions and inability to follow virtual instructions. Before beginning the intervention, the individuals reaction time, movement accuracy and task performance time are to be mentioned in person, using Target touch test and TUG test respectively and then eye gaze training is given as intervention through telerehabilitation. The intervention will be delivered for thirty minutes per session, four sessions per week, over a period of three weeks. The intervention includes gaze fixation tasks, saccadic eye movements, visual tracking tasks, visual search tasks and eye hand coordination activities. After the completion of the training period, all the individuals are again tested with the outcome measures mentioned above. The data collected from pre-test and post-test will be entered into SPSS software for statistical analysis.
