The contributions of feedforward and sensory feedback control, and the role of the cerebellum, are still under debate. To quantify these contributions, we increased the head moment of inertia in three groups (ten healthy, five chronic vestibular-loss and nine cerebellar-ataxia patients) while they performed large gaze shifts to flashed targets in darkness. This induces undesired head oscillations. Consequently, both active (desired) and passive (undesired) head movements had to be compensated for to stabilize gaze. All groups compensated for active and passive head movements, vestibular-loss patients less than the other groups (P &lt; 0.001, passive\/active compensatory gains: vestibular-loss 0.23 \u00b1 0.09\/0.43 \u00b1 0.12, healthy 0.80 \u00b1 0.17\/0.83 \u00b1 0.15, cerebellar-ataxia 0.68 \u00b1 0.17\/0.77 \u00b1 0.30, mean \u00b1 SD). The compensation gain ratio against passive and active movements was smaller than one in vestibular-loss patients (0.54 \u00b1 0.10, P=0.001). Healthy and cerebellar-ataxia patients did not differ in active and passive compensation. In summary, vestibular-loss patients can better stabilize gaze against active than against passive head movements. Therefore, feedforward mechanisms substantially contribute to gaze stabilization. Proprioception alone is not sufficient (gain 0.2). Stabilization against active and passive head movements was not impaired in our cerebellar ataxia patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/ves-140538","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,2]],"date-time":"2019-12-02T18:03:55Z","timestamp":1575309835000},"page":"425-431","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Gaze stabilization in chronic vestibular-loss and in cerebellar ataxia: Interactions of feedforward and sensory feedback mechanisms"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Sa\u011flam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"German Center for Vertigo and Balance Disorders, Munich University Hospital, Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"Lehnen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"German Center for Vertigo and Balance Disorders, Munich University Hospital, Munich, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Neurology, Munich University Hospital, Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","container-title":["Journal of Vestibular Research"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/content.iospress.com\/download?id=10.3233\/VES-140538","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T05:22:11Z","timestamp":1777612931000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full\/10.3233\/VES-140538"}},"subtitle":[],"editor":[{"given":"Marco","family":"Mandal\u00e0","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Otological and Skull Base Surgery Department, S.M. delle Scotte Hospital, Siena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"editor"}]},{"given":"Stefano","family":"Ramat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"editor"}]},{"given":"David S.","family":"Zee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"editor"}]}],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,17]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5-6"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/ves-140538","relation":{},"ISSN":["1878-6464","0957-4271"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1878-6464","type":"electronic"},{"value":"0957-4271","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,17]]}}}
