048A EntrainVirtuelAVC

The main problem is that the correction of asymmetry is resistant to current interventions. The project therefore proposes to develop a new approach aimed at reducing asymmetry, using a new stimulating technique for the patient, based on an emergent rehabilitation approach (error augmentation). The main objective of the mandate is the design, development and pre-validation of a 3D avatar that replicates in real-time the body movements of a person walking on a treadmill. Various parameters of the avatar’s kinematics will be modulated to reduce or exaggerate the asymmetry of walking by people with hemiparesis.
