Treatment and study plan

static balance

Other

30-second right and left unipodal static balance test

dynamic balance

Other

for the unipodal dynamic balance test, 4 movements will be done by the volunteers in this order :

  • 180° elevation of the arms
  • lowering of the arms on the side of the single-legged support to the horizontal position
  • 180° horizontal translation of the arms
  • return from the horizontal to the starting point

Primary outcomes

  1. Area of CoP (Center of pression)

    Time frame: Immediately after inclusion

    Mesure of area of center of pression during the balance tests in virtual condition and real condition, order in terms of randomisation

Secondary outcomes

  1. Total distance covered by the CoP during the balance test (in mm)

    Time frame: Immediately after inclusion

    Mesure of the total distance covered by the CoP during the balance tests (in mm) in virtual condition and real condition, order in terms of randomisation

  2. Simulator Sickness Quantifying (SSQ)

    Time frame: Immediately after the balance test

    SSQ completed after the balance test, SSQ is a scale of cyber sickness, from 0 to 48.
