Background And Objectives: Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a noninvasive high-resolution imaging technique for assessing the retinal vasculature and is increasingly used in various ophthalmologic, neuro-ophthalmologic, and neurologic diseases. To date, there are no validated consensus criteria for quality control (QC) of OCTA. Our study aimed to develop criteria for OCTA quality assessment.

Background: Earlier studies on stance and gait with posturographic and EMG-recordings and automatic gait analysis in patients with phobic postural vertigo (PPV) or visual height intolerance (vHI) revealed similar patterns of body stiffening with muscle co-contraction and a slow, cautious gait. Visual exploration in vHI patients was characterized by a freezing of gaze-in-space when standing and reduced horizontal eye and head movements during locomotion.

Objective: Based on the findings in vHI patients, the current study was performed with a focus on visual control of locomotion in patients with PPV while walking along a crowded hospital hallway.
