The postgraduate students organized a screening and awareness session on May 12, 2026 to promote understanding of cybersickness among computer users and to facilitate participant recruitment for the research study titled “Effectiveness of Gaze Stabilization Exercises vs Occulomotor Exercises on Cybersickness in Computer Users.” The session focused on educating participants about the effects of prolonged screen exposure on visual and vestibular functions.
A structured screening process was conducted using symptom-based assessments and questionnaires to identify eligible participants for the study. The session was conducted under the supervision of Dr Marium Zafer; PT, Head, Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, whose guidance contributed significantly to the successful execution of the activity. The project also contributed to the collection of more than half of the required study data.
Participants were informed about common symptoms of cybersickness, including dizziness, headache, nausea, visual fatigue, and imbalance during prolonged computer use. Awareness was also provided regarding vestibular rehabilitation approaches, particularly gaze stabilization and occulomotor exercises, and their role in reducing cybersickness-related symptoms.
In addition, the event marked the successful completion of the Community Medicine Awareness Project conducted by undergraduate students. During the ceremony, project positions were officially declared, and certificates were distributed among the participating students in recognition of their efforts and active participation. The activity also highlighted SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being and SDG 4: Quality Education by promoting health awareness and evidence-based community education.
