Results: There was a significant difference in the pre and post intervention time up and go test scores with p < 0.05. Conclusion: based on the results of the study, the implementation of gaze stability exercise with an ergonomic approach based on a home exercise program was significant in improving the balance of the elderly by 18.6% compared to before receiving the exercise.
