Can virtual reality make stroke rehab more tolerable?

NCT ID NCT06053619

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding immersive virtual reality (VR) to robotic walking rehabilitation is tolerable for people who cannot walk after a stroke. Thirty non-walking stroke patients will try both standard robotic rehab and VR-enhanced sessions. Researchers will measure motion sickness, motivation, and how much walking they actually do.
