An interventional study of Analysis of walking on flat ground and Hospital Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire in Unilateral Amputation of the Lower Limb, sponsored by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon. Completed at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 80 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-12-23.

The adaptability of the locomotor activity allows to face all the modifications of the immediate environment met in the daily activities. These situations become complex to apprehend for a person with a locomotor disability such as patients fitted with a lower limb amputation device. Thus, these adaptation capacities are essential to take into account in the rehabilitation process to maximize autonomy and reduce the risk of falls. For this purpose, the Quantitative Gait Analysis (QGA) allows to measure the impact of these constraining situations on the organization of gait patterns. However, this evaluation could be considerably optimized in current practice with the contribution of Virtual Reality (VR), by its immersive power which brings it closer to real life conditions (walking in a straight line, going up/down steps, taking into account visual and sound constraints, etc.). Eventually, this immersive approach by various VR environments could allow to improve the rehabilitation protocols in a personalized and secure way.
In this context, this project proposes to measure the tolerance of volunteers in a specific virtual environment and to quantify the modifications induced by this immersive environment, during a simple locomotor act (walking on flat ground) and complex (walking on a slope) in healthy volunteers, in order to evaluate the impact of VR on locomotion in a healthy population, and then in a second time in lower limb amputee patients
This monocentric study will take place on the Technological Investigation Platform of the Dijon Bourgogne University Hospital.
25 healthy volunteers and 25 lower limb amputees (transtibial or transfemoral) will be included in this study.
The participants will make 3 visits:

Analysis of walking on flat ground under different environmental conditions (visit 1)
performed during the inclusion visit
All assessments will be identical to the flat walking analysis: flat walking will be replaced by slope walking for all environmental conditions
Virtual reality feedback, accompanied by a confrontation of the patients' subjective experiences (group of 5 to 10 people)
Percentage of healthy volunteers who completed the virtual reality experiment (flat walk) without complications
