Summary

The main aim of this study is to compare the fear of falling induced by each type of virtual scene (rocking and translation). Fear of falling will be assessed by a numerical fear of falling scale.

The benefits for the participants would be the discovery of Virtuel Reality, the awareness of their fear of falling and its repercussions on posture and, if necessary, referral to specialized rehabilitation centers. This study will provide evidence on the context of the emergence of the fear of falling in order to propose, in perspective, appropriate rehabilitation management procedures.
