AR goggles could help stroke patients fix their gait
NCT ID NCT07178535
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether augmented reality (AR) can help people who have had a stroke walk with more balanced steps. Twenty adults who had a stroke within the past 6 months will try two types of visual feedback—an avatar and simple bars—while walking in a long hallway. The goal is to see which method better improves step symmetry and is comfortable to use.
