Selective suppression of the vestibulo-ocular reflex during human locomotion

ConclusionThe vertical aVOR appears to be suppressed during faster walking and running, whereas at the same time, the predictability of resultant head movements increases. This suggests that during stereotyped human locomotion, internal feed-forward commands supplement or even suppress sensory feedback to mediate gaze stabilization in the vertical plane.
