Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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, the investigators are particularly interested in a task of crossing between two pedestrians, which is a standardised task that has shown its interest in the study of perceptual-motor co-ordination. In particular, it allows to study the mutual adaptation of speed and orientation between the two walkers.
