Neurological disorders, such as vestibular disorders, are one of the conditions and risk factors that can cause balance disorders. This study aims to determine the effect of Gaze Stability Exercise on the balance of the elderly with a history of post-stroke. This study used a type of pre-experiment research with a one-group pre-post test design. Samples were selected based on a purposive sampling method with a total sample of 20 elderly people. The intervention was carried out 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Balance measurement using the Time Up and Go Test (TUGT). The average TUGT before intervention was 17.81 seconds, and after intervention was 16.26 seconds. The results of statistical tests using the Paired T Test test the results obtained, a p-value of 0.002 (p <0.05). This study shows that there is an effect of Gaze Stability Exercise intervention on the balance of the elderly with a history of post-stroke.]]>
