Field Dependence and Body Balance
@article{Kitamura1990FieldDA, title={Field Dependence and Body Balance}, author={Fumiaki Kitamura and Katsuya Matsunaga}, journal={Perceptual and Motor Skills}, year={1990}, volume={71}, pages={723 - 734} }
This study reports four points about the portable Rod and Frame Test performance of 30 Japanese women in terms of body balance. The primary findings using a stabilometer are: (a) field dependence correlated negatively with increased sway path within 1 min. both while a dot pattern as a visual stimulus was stationary and while it was moving. (b) Field dependence correlated positively with the difference in sway path between the two following phases, in one of which the subjects watched the…

Visual motion combined with base of support width reveals variable field dependency in healthy young adults

The increased responsiveness to visual information suggests a greater visual field-dependency of the steppers and suggests that the thresholds for shifting from a reliance on visual information to somatosensory information can differ even within a healthy population.
Increased Visual Dependence in Parkinson's Disease
- Psychology, BiologyPerceptual and motor skills
- 2002
It is concluded that patients with Parkinson's disease showed a significantly increased dependence upon visual information both perceptually and motorically, with an increased perceptual visual dependence in the patients being predictive of an equivalent visual dependence or visual control of posture and equilibrium.

It is indicated that postural factors provide an adequate and stable basis for judging the vertical and horizontal when the body is upright, but not when theBody is tilted.
