Virtual reality boosts stroke rehab: better balance, better walking

This study looked at whether adding virtual reality (VR) balance exercises to standard physical therapy helps stroke patients walk and keep their balance better. 34 people who had a stroke within the last 6 months took part. Some did only standard therapy, while others replaced 20% of their therapy with VR balance games using a headset. The goal was to see if the VR group improved more in walking speed, distance, and balance.
