Peripheral sensory information and postural control in children with strabismus

Vision, vestibular and the somatosensory systems are three key sensory systems that play a significant role in the regulation of normal postural control [1]. The vestibular system mainly provides information about head position and orientation in space, whereas the somatosensory system is responsible for relaying feedback regarding body position and orientation. The visual system regulates the head and body in visual space [2]. These three sensory systems collectively work together in the control of posture [3].
