📖 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.
Optokinetic Stimulation
Positions & Range of Motion
- Start
- seated (or standing near a wall), eyes open and fixed on a repetitive moving visual pattern such as an optokinetic disc or scrolling video
- End
- sustained visual fixation on the moving pattern for the exposure duration (start ~30 s), habituating to visual-vestibular conflict
- Range of Motion
- isometric head/body posture with eyes tracking optic flow — minimal joint excursion
How to Perform
Brief exposure to repetitive moving visual patterns (optokinetic discs, scrolling text videos, busy environment footage) to habituate visual-vestibular conflict symptoms.

Coaching Cues
- 1
Start with 30 s. Stop if symptoms exceed mild — they should subside within a minute
(verbal) - 2
Stand near a wall if upright — visual flow can perturb balance
(tactile)
Evidence-Based Dosing & EMG Data
30 s–2 min per session, 1–2×/day, increase as tolerated.
Muscles Involved (0)
No muscles linked.
Easier Variations ↓
Slower Pattern Speed
Use slower optokinetic content (low scroll speed) initially.
Harder Variations ↑
Standing + Optokinetic
Stand on firm then foam while watching the moving pattern.
Research Notes
Level I RCT showed customized vestibular exercises performed in an optokinetic environment improved symptom measures more than customized exercises alone [Hall 2022 JNPT].
