Summary

While clinical assessment of locomotor function in this population is carried out using tasks involving walking in a straight line without any obstacles, it does not take into account ecological situations (i.e., situations comparable to real-life situations) in which the person interacts with their environment, such as walking down a street with other pedestrians, which is fundamental to everyday life. This research therefore aims to study the social navigation skills during locomotion of people who have suffered a moderate or severe head injury in the chronic phase in more ecological tasks. This will provide a better understanding of the difficulties encountered by these patients during locomotor interactions in everyday life.

Locomotion in a virtual reality setting

Patients and participants will be asked to perform several walking/locomotion tasks in a virtual evironment setting. The setting in question is a concert in a parc. The participants will have to walk towards the stage whilst avoiding bumping into "virtual people". A total of 5 different tasks (walking in a straight line, walking between people etc) will be completed for each participant. Different variables will then be recorded and extracted such as walking speed, interpersonnal distances, eye fixation times.
