The aim of the present study was to evaluate the balance of subjects chronically exposed to an environment with sensorial conflict before and immediately after exposition to this environment. Fifteen fishermen volunteered to participate and had their displacement of center of pressure (CP) measured by a force platform before and after a sea journey. Six different conditions, in which the sensorial information of visual and somatosensory system was manipulated, were tested. The total path of the center of pressure indicated the participant’s ability to use each sensory system separately for each condition to control upright posture. There were no changes in body sway or sensory dependence immediately after exposure to an environment with sensorial conflict. A chronic adaptation seemed to prevent them to be influenced by acute effects of exposure to an environment with sensorial conflict.Downloads
