Mean range of arm pitch displacement for participants with vestibular deficits and age-matched controls. Error bars show standard error of the mean. On average, participants with vestibular deficits (M = 0.26, SD = 0.11) had decreased left arm pitch ranges of angular displacement while walking with eyes closed compared to age-matched controls (M = 0.49, SD = 0.21). The difference was statistically significant t(66) = 6.72, p < 0.05 with a large effect size r = 0.64. For the right side, participants with vestibular deficits (M = 0.26, SD = 0.11) had decreased arm pitch ranges of angular displacement while walking with eyes closed when compared to age-matched controls (M = 0.35, SD = 0.14). While the difference was statistically significant t(84)= 3.24, p < 0.05, the effect size was smaller r = 0.37
