Summary

This study tests whether using augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) during treadmill walking can improve balance and walking in people who have had a stroke. 66 participants will be split into three groups: one using VR, one using AR, and a control group doing home exercises. All will also receive standard physical therapy. The training lasts 45 minutes a day, five days a week, for three weeks.
