The visual, somatosensory, and vestibular systems are critical for establishing a sensorimotor set for postural control and orientation. The goal of this study was to assess how individuals with a vestibular‐related disorder keep their balance following prolonged stance on an inclined surface. We hypothesize that subjects will show greater reliance on the somatosensory system than age‐matched controls as inferred by the presence of a forward postural lean aftereffect following the inclined stance (i.e., a positive response).
