Resumo(s)
Balance disorders can lead to severe consequences for older adults. Computerized posturography offers
an objective assessment of balance, and VR can help to increase its ecological validity. We investigate to what
extent a posturographic VR bus ride is ecologically valid and suitable to assess balance. Sixteen healthy adult
participants underwent the VR bus ride. Participants felt a moderate
level of presence, and the simulation elicited significant postural changes responses, which correlated
with validated posturography assessments of the participants. The results support the viability of our tool for
balance assessment in the context of a meaningful activity.
