Visual contribution to human standing balance during support surface tilts

Highlights • Contributions of visual position and velocity cues to standing balance are analyzed.• Both visual cues reduce sway responses to support surface tilt and sway variability.• Model simulations are used for data interpretation and data reproduction.• Visual cues improve disturbance estimates by reduction of estimation thresholds.• Reduction of noise by visual cues appears to be an instrumental factor.
