Downward gazing behavior after stroke can enhance postural control even in the absence of visual input by Yogev Koren, Simona Bar-Haim, Noy Goldhamer, Noy Goldhamer, Lior Shmuelof

“…We also hypothesized that the effect of downward gazing on sway will be more pronounced in subjects with impaired balance control following stroke.MethodsWe quantified standing postural sway of 20 healthy participants and 20 persons with stroke who were instructed to stand as still as possible under different conditions: while gazing forward and gazing down, with their eyes open and eyes closed.ResultsBoth the horizontal gaze angle and the lack of visual input had a negative effect on participants’ ability to attenuate their body sway. …”
