Description
Summary:Follow-up of previous studies (See 28: 8394; 29: 1935). Effects of degree of tilt, direction of tilt, duration of tilt, and speed of return from tilted positions in the right and left diagonal planes were investigated. "Perception of the postural upright in subjects moving toward the vertical from positions of tilt in the right or left diagonal planes is influenced by the magnitude of tilt and speed of return. Errors in perception of the vertical increase as the magnitude of initial tilt increases, and as the velocity of return decreases. In the left diagonal plane subjects returning from positions of right-backward tilt made significantly larger errors than left-forward tilt . . . "
