NCT ID NCT03881930
First seen May 30, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether balance rehabilitation that changes how patients see (closing eyes, using a mask, or projecting moving dots) can improve walking stability better than standard rehab with eyes open. It includes 40 adults with chronic nerve damage who have trouble with balance. Participants will do 20 rehab sessions, and their walking will be measured right after and two months later.
