Summary

This study tests whether adding multisensory virtual reality to treadmill training helps stroke patients improve their leg movement and thinking skills. Forty adults who had a first stroke and can walk with minor help will be randomly assigned to either VR-enhanced treadmill training or treadmill training alone. The main goal is to see if the VR group shows better motor recovery in the legs.
