Use of standardised outcome measures among physiotherapists in French-speaking sub-Saharan Africa.

Background: The use of standardised assessment tools is a fundamental aspect of good clinical practice. However, to our knowledge, no study has documented the use of standardised assessment tools in physiotherapy in French-speaking sub-Saharan Africa.

Objectives: Documenting the use of standardised outcome measures in physiotherapy in French-speaking sub-Saharan Africa.

Visual feedback and age affect upper limb reaching accuracy and kinematics in immersive virtual reality among healthy adults.

This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the effect of visual feedback, age and movement repetition on the upper limb (UL) accuracy and kinematics during a reaching task in immersive virtual reality (VR). Fifty-one healthy participants were asked to perform 25 trials of a reaching task in immersive VR with and without visual feedback of their hand. They were instructed to place, as accurately and as fast as possible, a controller held in their non-dominant hand in the centre of a virtual red cube of 3 cm side length.
