A Perspective on Using Virtual Reality to Incorporate the Affective Context of Everyday Falls Into Fall Prevention

A Perspective on Using Virtual Reality to Incorporate the Affective Context of Everyday Falls Into Fall Prevention

We define “mobility-related anxiety” as a phobia specific to walking that is associated with increased physiological arousal and cognitive stress, which interferes with perceptual, cognitive, and motor processes during walking in young and older adults [12,21-24]. Both self-reported fear of falling and mobility-related anxiety are believed to impair cognitive-motor control, predisposing older adults to a greater risk of slips, trips, and falls [13,14,18].
