Abstract | © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. Occupational safety and health (OSH) is active at all levels of the hierarchy of controls to prevent accidents associated with slips, trips and falls (STF). Training programs related to STF prevention are increasingly supported by virtual reality (VR) techniques. A review revealed a wide range of applications in practical and scientific areas. Trainings for operational practice vary regarding objectives, target groups, application contexts, media, and effectiveness, if available. Trainings in scientific studies are well designed for specific purposes at hand, but not suitable for direct application in operational practice. Research is required to bridge the gap. An investigation on gait stability and control in a VR-based obstacle avoidance training scenario has been conducted to contribute to developments in STF prevention. Initial results indicated a high level of presence and no evidence for detrimental effects on body and gait stability through application of VR techniques. This provides a sound basis for analysis of other data still required and for guiding similar and subsequent studies along knowledge gained by training programs available. |
