BACKGROUND: Verticality, or more precisely the ability to perceive spatial orientation with regard to gravity, is based on the integration of visual, vestibular and somesthetic information.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study was to compare the subjective visual vertical (SVV) in patients with Usher (type I and type II) with visual or vestibular impairment, and in healthy participants, in order to explore the importance of the visual and vestibular functions on the vertical’s perception.
METHODS: We evaluated the SVV using a wall housing which projects on the opposite wall a red-light line of about 2 meters, obtained by laser cannon. The evaluation was carried out under two tilt conditions: clockwise and counter-clockwise randomly performed five times in each direction. The response to the SVV task was quantified by the mean of the absolute values of the SVV.
RESULTS: Responses to the SVV were significantly less accurate in patients with Usher with respect to healthy participants while it was similar for the two groups of patients with Usher.
CONCLUSIONS: We hypothesize that visual inputs play a very important role in the perception of verticality and that the symmetrical bilateral vestibular deficit in Usher type I does not have a strong impact in perception of verticality.
