📖 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.
Vestibular Habituation Drills
Positions & Range of Motion
- Start
- seated (or the specific provoking posture) ready to perform 2-3 self-selected symptom-provoking positions or movements identified from a Motion Sensitivity Quotient or symptom diary
- End
- the provoking position or movement completed and held/repeated to a tolerable symptom level, then rested until symptoms fully settle within 60 seconds
- Range of Motion
- repeated controlled head/body excursions specific to each provoking movement; graded to tolerable symptom provocation
How to Perform
Repeated controlled exposure to specific positions or movements that provoke the user's vestibular symptoms (motion sensitivity, visual motion, head-position changes). Selected based on a Motion Sensitivity Quotient or symptom diary.

Coaching Cues
- 1
Provoke to a tolerable symptom level — not maximum. Recovery should be complete within 60 s
(verbal) - 2
Pick 2–3 specific provoking movements from your symptom diary — not generic ones
(verbal)
Evidence-Based Dosing & EMG Data
Provoke to mild symptom intensity, hold 30 s, recover. 3–5 reps per provoking movement, 2×/day.
Muscles Involved (0)
No muscles linked.
Easier Variations ↓
Reduced Amplitude
Use a smaller range of the provoking movement until intensity tolerable.
Harder Variations ↑
Functional Habituation
Replace generic provoking moves with the actual real-world activity that triggers symptoms.
Why This Exercise Matters
Everyday activities this exercise helps you do — essential means it directly trains the capacity the task needs:
Research Notes
Mechanism is central neural plasticity, distinct from VOR adaptation (gain change). Must be customized to the individual's provoking movements [Hall 2022 JNPT; McDonnell & Hillier 2015 Cochrane].
