Summary

This study tests whether balance rehabilitation that changes how patients see (closing eyes, using a mask, or projecting moving dots) can improve walking stability better than standard rehab with eyes open. It includes 40 adults with chronic nerve damage who have trouble with balance. Participants will do 20 rehab sessions, and their walking will be measured right after and two months later.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a better way to improve balance and walking stability in people with nerve damage.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is non-drug and may not produce lasting benefits.
