Overview
Brief Summary
This is an interventional, prospective, randomized, monocentric study designed to develop medical knowledge.
Virtual reality is increasingly used in rehabilitation. The aim of virtual reality is to investigate motor interactions in a fictitious, configurable environment, in order to train specific functions and transpose improvements into everyday life.
The main objective of this study is to investigate the influence of different moving virtual scenes on the general spatiotemporal parameters of pressure centers, in a sub-acute stroke rehabilitation context.
This would help health professionals to assess the most suitable VR exercise in function of patient's difficulties.
During this study, patient movements while viewing 8 different virtual reality scenes will be recorded using a motion platform during a single session.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Displacement speed of the center of pressure (in mm.s-1)
Time Frame: During the procedure (virtual reality session).
Displacement speed of the center of pressure will be recorded on a force platform under different conditions: * Eyes open with VR headset simulating a static environment * Eyes closed with VR helmet off * In 8 VR conditions simulating movement (in random order)
Total length of pressure center displacement (in mm)
Time Frame: During the procedure (virtual reality session).
Length of pressure will be recorded on a force platform under different conditions: * Eyes open with VR headset simulating a static environment * Eyes closed with VR helmet off * In 8 VR conditions simulating movement (in random order)
