Lower Limb Impairment

Reduced function in one or both legs or feet due to conditions such as amputation, paralysis, muscular disorders, or joint conditions. In VR accessibility, lower limb impairment primarily affects locomotion methods—free-roam VR requiring physical walking is inaccessible, while seated VR with joystick or teleportation-based locomotion can work well. Users with lower limb impairments who can operate controllers may find upper-body VR interactions relatively accessible, though seated position may affect body tracking. Lower limb prosthesis users reported relatively few VR accessibility barriers beyond locomotion concerns.
