dc.description.abstractTo maintain balance, there are complex interactions that take place between one’s environment and sensory systems. Correctly perceiving one’s own movement may dictate the strategy one uses to maintain upright. While perceived movement has been studied, there is a lack of research on perceived self-motion and postural responses when visually perturbed during a dynamic balance task. Virtual reality (VR) was used to elicit visual perturbations while the support surface was translating +/- 5cm. Ground reaction forces were measured using a force plate and kinematics were collected using 3D motion capture. Perceived sway amplitude was tracked through a controller compatible with the VR head mounted display (HMD). Postural responses were significantly greater in anterior conditions. There was an observed disconnect between perceived and actual movement, where quotient amplitude measures increased in posterior conditions. Biomechanical constraints, threat-modulated behaviour and an increased conscious control of movement may explain these findings.
