📖 Static demo — read-only snapshot
You’re browsing a static build of the Body IQ knowledge graph, so everything loads with no backend. A few things that need the live server are turned off here:
- Global search (sidebar) is disabled — it queries the API.
- The JSON API and the API “Try it” playgroundaren’t included.
- The data is a snapshot — it refreshes only when the demo is rebuilt, not live from the database.
Everything else — the body map, progression ladders, coverage heatmap, exercise finder, and all anatomy/exercise/source pages — works fully. The full app (live search + API + database) runs from the source on GitHub.
Cawthorne-Cooksey Progression
Positions & Range of Motion
- Start
- Begins seated (Stage 1) performing eye, head and shoulder movements, advancing to standing then walking as tolerated
- End
- Progresses through standing trunk movements, gait with head turns, slopes and stairs eyes open/closed, to functional eye-hand coordination tasks
- Range of Motion
- Graded, progressively fuller eye, head, trunk and whole-body movement across seated, standing and gait stages
How to Perform
Graded hierarchy of head, eye, body, and gait movements. Stage 1 (sitting): eye/head/shoulder movements. Stage 2 (standing): trunk movements + standing eye/head. Stage 3 (walking): turning while walking, slopes, stairs eyes open/closed. Stage 4 (functional): eye-hand coordination tasks.

Coaching Cues
- 1
Progress only when the current stage no longer triggers symptoms
(verbal) - 2
If symptoms build, return to the prior stage for 1–2 days
(verbal)
Evidence-Based Dosing & EMG Data
Each stage 1–2 min, full sequence 2×/day, progress when symptoms tolerable.
Muscles Involved (0)
No muscles linked.
Easier Variations ↓
Stage 1 Only
Stay at seated eye/head movements until symptom-free.
Harder Variations ↑
Customized Stage 4 Tasks
Replace generic stage-4 tasks with the user's symptom-provoking real-world tasks.

Research Notes
Generic Cawthorne-Cooksey improved mCTSIB, VAS, DHI, ABC vs no exercise but was inferior to supervised customized vestibular PT [Hall 2022 JNPT; Lee 2025 Front Neurol].
