Abstract
Vibration of the dorsal neck muscles in man induces falling reactions, walking and "marche en étoile", probably by muscle afferent activation. It can be used as a reproducible error signal in analyzing the interaction between neck muscle proprioception and vestibular as well as ocular motor systems. These interactions are important for posture and coordinated head-eye movements.Entities:
