Patients who suffer pathological vestibular disorders commonly stagger and turn to one side. The vestibular organs provide signals about both the linear and angular acceleration of the head in space, and could also contribute to a sensation of trajectory if the frequency and acceleration of normal walking are appropriate. ![]() Proprioceptive input from muscles and joints of the pelvis and hips can contribute to the sensation of the trajectory walked ( Gordon et al. In this situation, proprioceptive sensory inputs from the limbs and the vestibular organs provide information about the trajectory and stability of the body. Once a target has been seen, it is possible to shut the eyes and walk directly to it if it is not too distant. When we walk towards a destination it is neither necessary nor common for us to keep our vision continuously fixed on the target. ![]()
