The analysis

The claim that closing the eyes significantly affects human postural balance is directly supported by multiple studies in the provided literature (such as papers 3, 7, and 10), which consistently report significant increases in postural sway, sway path length, and sway area under eyes-closed or visually restricted conditions. There are no papers contradicting this finding.
