Effects of Moderate/Severe Traumatic Brain Injury in the Subacute or Chronic Phase on Locomotor Strategies Involved in Navigation in Complex Virtual Environments
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
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.
Study 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.
