ABSTRACT
Gaze direction and use of visual feedback can affect illusory influences over perceptions and manual length size estimates of the vertical-horizontal (V-H) illusion, in which the vertical, bisecting segment of an inverted T (IT) appears longer than the horizontal, bisected segment. We questioned whether V-H illusory influences would also exist for the lower limb. Participants stepped forward in an attempt to make the toe-to-toe distance of their dominant foot equal to a short or long bisecting segment length of a vertically projected IT. Performances under three gaze conditions included maintaining gaze on the IT intersection throughout a trial for target fixation (TF); viewing the intersection for 4 s then looking down and performing the step for movement fixation (MF); and viewing the intersection for 4 s then maintaining gaze on the remembered location of the intersection and performing the step for remembered target fixation (RTF). Variables included step displacement, peak velocity (PV), and normalized ground reaction force amplitude (GRFampN), as well as time to peak and peak amplitude of the center of pressure (COPtime and COPamp, respectively). Main effects of gaze on PV, GRFampN, COPtime, and COPamp revealed lower values for MF compared to TF and RTF, which did not exist for step displacement. No significant correlations existed between step displacement and other variables across participants. Together, we found evidence to suggest differences between movement planning and movement completion. Exploitation of deceptive visual cues can guide step planning and early step execution, but do not guide final step estimations.
