Yes. There was the vestibular therapy which consisted of walking while looking up, down, diagnal and side to side. It helped some but muscle memory takes over eventually and I just walked because I remembered walking. It also helped to walk a road with a white shoulder line. Last year I saw a Nuero opthamologist who specialized in TBI. He used prism glasses to resync my eyes and brain. When the processed stabilized, I got new Rx glasses. Great for driving. Cant walk in them tho. No cure for opscillopsia. (eyes bounce when feet hit the ground.)

I had something like that with my vestibular therapy. She worked on my vision a lot to help me walk again.
