Virtual reality steps in to help amputees walk better

NCT ID NCT05635799

Summary

This study tested whether virtual reality (VR) is a safe and practical tool for assessing and potentially improving walking in people with a leg amputation. Researchers had 70 participants, including healthy volunteers and amputees, walk in VR environments simulating flat ground and slopes. The main goal was to see if people could complete the VR walking tasks without problems, gathering data to see if VR could be used for future rehabilitation.
