The physicians performed only those manipulative procedures that were deemed necessary based upon a visual posture analysis at the beginning of each treatment session.
Dusek et al [ 10] demonstrated differences in visual status between a large group of children with reading difficulties (n = 825) and a clinical control group (n = 328) in terms of visual acuity, ocular posture, accommodation, reading speed and convergence.
A lot of the dance movement got lost in whipped-up "visuals" and in macho posturing so insistent that even in a football movie it would have been hard to take.
Indeed, in a similar paradigm, but with a much larger (63º) one-handed misalignment of tactile targets with visual distractors, posture change did modulate visual tactile congruence effects (Spence, Pavani, & Driver, 2004).
To prevent automatic object-related cerebral activation during the visual processing of postures, only intransitive postures were selected, i.e., symbolic or meaningless postures which do not imply the handling of objects.
Agreement between PTs and experts for visual observation of posture from photographs is also good for 19 out of 23 posture indices (ICCs from 0.78 to 1.00, see Table 4, third column).
Visual vertical perception, posture and equilibrium are impaired in patients with a unilateral vestibular loss.
For example, visual cues stabilize posture on longer time-scales [41], [42], whereas proprioceptive cues are responsible for short timescale corrections [43].
