Abstract Content: Background: Visual, somatic, and vestibular sensations play an important role in maintaining body balance and stabilizing visual images. Objective: To clarify the influence of somatosensory input on the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) using earth vertical axis rotation (EVAR) and off-vertical axis rotation (OVAR). Material and methods: The participants were 25 healthy adult volunteers. EVAR and OVAR (0.16 Hz with a maximal angular velocity of 60°/s) were performed both when they grasped a bar fixed to the rotating chair and when they did not
