Pattern. These programs are designed to challenge the client's ability to visually follow moving objects
and plan and coordinate motor movements.
The Smooth Pursuit Program is a category within Visual Pursuit Therapy Category. Pattern, Adjustable
Pattern and Rotator Programs are available in Dynamic Balance and Optokinetic Dynamic Therapy
Categories.

eye movement training (SPT) uses optokinetic stimulation and may reduce visual, auditory, and haptic
neglect. The optional user Interaction Parameters requires physical engagement and provides a measure
of success.

on the target stimulus through body movement.

movement on screen and instruct client to maintain reticle on the target stimulus through body movement.
