Rehab ward gets a fake street corner to boost Real-World skills
NCT ID NCT06646939
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This small, terminated study tested whether having a simulated environment (like curbs and uneven surfaces) in an inpatient rehab unit would make therapists use more community reintegration activities. Only 13 adults took part, and the study compared their therapy time to past records. The goal was to see if the setup encouraged more real-world training, but the early stop and small size mean the findings are very limited.
