Kinematic Gait Adjustments to Virtual Environments on Different Surface Conditions: Do Treadmill and Over-Ground Walking Exhibit Different Adaptations to Passive Virtual Immersion?

Figure 3

Between-group comparative analysis of the kinematic adjustments (COM excursion angle and ML-COM excursion) in response to the first exposures to the VREs. (a) Mean and SD of the COM excursion angle for the natural walking trial (NW), first snowy VRE trial (S1), and seventh snowy VRE trial (S7). (b) Mean and SD of the COM excursion angle for the first natural walking trial (NW), first crowded VRE trial (C1), and seventh crowded VRE (C7). (c) Mean and SD of the ML-COM excursion for the first natural walking trial (NW), first snowy VRE trial (S1), and seventh snowy VRE trial (S7). (d) Mean and SD of the ML-COM excursion for the first natural walking trial (NW), first crowded VRE trial (C1), and seventh crowded VRE trial (C7). Significant changes between trials () are indicated by .
