Summary

The biomechanical parameters studied in non-specific chronic low back pain patients in a locomotion task have so far focused on straight line walking. Although locomotion is primarily an automated action composed of repetitive patterns allowing movement from one place to another, walkers must respond to the environmental demands.These modifications show a flexible and adaptive approach to the constraints of the environment. In this study, we are particularly interested in a task of passage through a horizontal opening, similar to a doorway, which is a standardized task that has shown its interest in the study of perceptual-motor co-ordinations. In particular, it allows to consider anthropometric and functional abilities of individuals, reflecting their action capacities.
