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
