Postural Sway Adaptation during Initial Exposure to Periodic and Non-periodic Optic Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Previous work in our laboratory showed that postural sway power in a group of six healthy adults was significantly larger in response to a periodic sum-of-sinusoids (SOS), compared to a spectrally similar non-periodic SOS [1], but only at the highest component frequency of the stimulus (0.5Hz). The objective of the current study was to determine whether this behavior could be reproduced in a larger group of subjects, and for a wider variety of SOS optic flow stimuli.

Effects of ‘tone-in-noise’ Moving Visual Scenes on Postural Sway
The use of moving visual scenes to evoke postural responses is a practical method of experimentally examining the sensory integration processes related to posture, as it provides a means of manipulating visual input in a controlled fashion. This approach has been utilized to investigate postural phenomena such as sensory conflict (Kuo et al. 1998) and sensory reweighting (Peterka, R. 2002), as ...
متن کاملLaterality of Stance during Optic Flow Stimulation in Male and Female Young Adults
During self-motion, the spatial and temporal properties of the optic flow input directly influence the body sway. Men and women have anatomical and biomechanical differences that influence the postural control during visual stimulation. Given that recent findings suggest a peculiar role of each leg in the postural control of the two genders, we investigated whether the body sway during optic fl...
متن کاملEffects of simulated viewpoint jitter on visually induced postural sway.
In this study we examined the effects of simulated horizontal and vertical viewpoint jitter on the vection and postural sway induced by radial patterns of optic flow. During each trial, observers were exposed sequentially to 20 s periods of radially expanding flow, radially contracting flow, and static visual scenes. For half the trials, simulated viewpoint jitter was added to the radially expa...
متن کاملChaos in Balance: Non-Linear Measures of Postural Control Predict Individual Variations in Visual Illusions of Motion
Visually-induced illusions of self-motion (vection) can be compelling for some people, but they are subject to large individual variations in strength. Do these variations depend, at least in part, on the extent to which people rely on vision to maintain their postural stability? We investigated by comparing physical posture measures to subjective vection ratings. Using a Bertec balance plate i...
متن کاملVoluntary and involuntary postural responses to imposed optic flow.
We demonstrated that postural responses to imposed optic flow are to some extent voluntary. In a moving room, participants either stood normally or were instructed to resist any influence of visible motion on their stance. When participants attempted to resist, coupling of body sway with motion of the room was significantly greater than when the eyes were closed, but was significantly reduced r...
