While clinical assessment of locomotor function in this population is carried out using tasks involving walking in a straight line without any obstacles, it does not take into account ecological situations (i.e., situations comparable to real-life situations) in which the person interacts with their environment, such as walking down a street with other pedestrians, which is fundamental to everyday life. This research therefore aims to study the social navigation skills during locomotion of people who have suffered a moderate or severe head injury in the chronic phase in more ecological tasks. This will provide a better understanding of the difficulties encountered by these patients during locomotor interactions in everyday life.
