The invention relates to a device (100) for measuring the perception of equilibrium in individuals comprising an opaque mask (10) having an inclination sensor (18) and a display (12) arranged within the mask (10) for displaying an image (7), which can be rotated in order to determine the subjective visual vertical of an individual, and having a means (50) for detecting the posture of the individual, and a monitoring unit (60) which, during the determination of the subjective visual vertical, indicates and/or stores the position and/or movement of one or more areas of the body. During the measurement of the sense of equilibrium, the subjective visual vertical is determined and, at the same time, the posture of the individual is measured.
