Table 4.

Magnitude of pitch and roll rotations, in degrees, required to bring each semicircular canal into an earth-horizontal plane.

Canal Pitch Direction Roll Direction
Left HC 54.7 ND 9.1 RED
Left AC 45.9 NU 46.8 LED
Left PC 25.9 NU 42.4 RED
Right HC 55.3 ND 5.57 LED
Right AC 45.5 NU 46.7 RED
Right PC 25.1 NU 42.6 LED

HC, horizontal canal; AC, anterior canal; PC, posterior canal; ND = pitch nose down, NU = pitch nose up, RED = roll right ear down, LED = roll left ear down
