Brief Summary

Visual vertical (VV), visually perceived direction of gravity, is widely measured to assess the vestibular function and visuospatial cognition. VV has been assessed by comparing orientation and variability of measured values separately between subject groups. However, changes in orientation and variability often differ in patients with unilateral spatial neglect (USN). Here, we developed a novel classification of VV that combines orientation and variability and characterized the effects of USN on VV.
