Abstract:In upright standing and walking, the motion of the body relative to the environment is estimated from a combination of visual, vestibular and somatosensory cues. Associations between vestibular or somatosensory impairments and balance problems are well established, but less is known about how the ability of the visual system to detect motion affects balance control. Here we asked whether motion detection thresholds can be reliably measured during walking and standing. Typically, motion threshold values have be… Show more
