Healthy

Brief summary

Validate a virtual environment by demonstrating a non modification of the characteristics of postural reaction and displacement of the body's center of pressure between a real environment and the same environment in immersive virtual reality.

Interventions

OTHERstatic balance

30-second right and left unipodal static balance test

OTHERdynamic balance

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
