Cerebellar training is used often in a program called DORE. It consists of eye, balance and sensory exercises that are customized for each person. It is based on the concept that the connections in the brain between the cerebellum and the cerebrum are not working or are working slowly. The theory is that with exercise, the cerebellum will begin to work more efficiently. The program takes approximately 12 to 15 months for a person to complete.
