Abstract
Tilted visual information induces body inclination on upright posture; however the effects of tilted visual information on control of lateral weight-shift posture or gait are unknown. We studied the effects of tilted visual information on the control of upright posture, lateral weight-shift posture, and gait in healthy adults. Three subjects participated in the experiment. Their visual information was tilted toward left using the head mount display (HMD), and their postures and motions were measured. Their body inclinations to the left were clearly observed under gait, whereas these inclinations were slightly observed under upright and lateral weight-shift posture. It was shown that the effect of tilted visual information on dynamic condition such as gait was greater than static condition such as control of upright posture.
