First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores how virtual reality (VR) can be used to evaluate and improve walking in people with lower limb amputations. Researchers will test VR tolerance in 25 healthy volunteers and 25 amputees by having them walk on flat ground and slopes in a virtual environment. The goal is to see if VR is safe and well-tolerated, potentially leading to better rehabilitation methods.
