To maintain balance during locomotion, the central nervous system (CNS) accommodates
changes in the constraints of spatial environment (eg, existence of an obstacle or changes in …

In order to pass through apertures safely and efficiently, individuals must perceive the width
of the aperture relative to (1) the width of the person-plus-object system and to (2) their …

The present study investigates the effects of different types of concurrent feedback on the
acquisition of perceptual-motor skills. Twenty participants walked through virtual corridors in …

The aim of this study was to investigate the perception of possibilities for action (ie,
affordances) that depend on one's movement capabilities, and more specifically, the …

Sport Vision is a speciality of multidisciplinary interest aimed at improving the performance
of the visual system to achieve benefits in practiced sports, as well as in daily life and in …

Stair walking is a challenging locomotor task, and visual information about the steps is
considered critical to safely walk up and down. Despite the importance of such visual inputs …

During everyday locomotion we encounter a range of obstacles which require specific motor
responses, for example a narrow aperture forces us to rotate the shoulders to pass through …

Avoiding moving obstacles in immersive environments requires adjustments in the walking
trajectory and depends on the type of obstacle movement. Previous research studied the …

Background When an individual is trying to fit into a narrow aperture, the amplitude of
shoulder rotations in the yaw dimension is well proportioned to the relative aperture width to …

When passing through apertures, individuals scale their actions to their shoulder width and
rotate their shoulders or avoid apertures that are deemed too small for straight passage …
