Subjective visual vertical in patients with Usher syndrome. J Vestib Res. 2020 Aug 26;: Authors: Baghdadi M, Caldani S, Maudoux A, Audo I, Van Den Abbeele T, Bucci MP, Wiener-Vacher SR Abstract Highlights• The estimation of verticality (assessed with Subjective visual vertical (SVV)) is more variable in patients with Usher (type I and II) compared to healthy participants.• Visual and vestibular information are essential for the visual vertical (VV) perception.• A reweighting of sensory information from the central nervous system seems to be able to compensate for the absence of vestibular function in patients with Usher type I.
