Basic Saccade & Cervical Joint Position Sense (CJPS) Pattern Suite

This PDF includes three simplified visual patterns for training saccadic eye movements and cervical joint position sense. The suite progresses from a cross (plus) pattern, to a star with single targets at the end of each arm, and finally to a star pattern with two targets per arm extending from a central reference point.

These patterns are designed to support early-stage or foundational sensorimotor training, allowing the nervous system to focus on movement accuracy, spatial awareness, and midline control without excessive visual processing demand. They can be used in the same way as more complex CJPS and saccade patterns—following targets with the eyes, finger, laser pointer, or head-mounted laser—while reinforcing visual–cervical–proprioceptive integration.

By stripping back complexity, this suite provides a clean entry point for rebuilding confidence, precision, and consistency, leveraging activity-dependent neuroplasticity to establish reliable sensorimotor maps before progressing to higher-load patterns.
