    Height vertigo may be explained by visual destabilization of balance. This occurs when the distance to visible contrasts becomes critically large, affecting postural control.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Biomechanics
    • Visual Perception

    Background:

    • Physiological height vertigo is a common experience.
    • The exact mechanisms underlying height vertigo are not fully understood.
    • Existing theories often focus on vestibular or psychological factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a geometrical explanation for physiological height vertigo.
    • To investigate the role of visual destabilization in postural balance.
    • To examine the relationship between viewing distance and vertigo symptoms.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a geometrical theory for height vertigo.
    • Collection of physiological and posturographic data.
    • Analysis of postural sway under natural height vertigo conditions.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed theory suggests height vertigo is a form of distance vertigo.
    • Visual destabilization of postural balance occurs at critical viewing distances.
    • Experimental data align with the geometrical explanation.

    Conclusions:

    • Height vertigo can be explained by visual factors and distance perception.
    • Postural control is significantly impacted by visual cues at large distances.
    • This geometrical model provides a novel framework for understanding height vertigo.
