Overground Virtual Reality (VR) Gait Rehabilitation for Stroke

Sex: All

Ages: 18 Years – N/A

Healthy volunteers: No

Phase: NA

Enrollment: 30

Sponsor: Indiana University

Location: Indiana University Health, Neurorehabilitation & Robotics Indianapolis Indiana

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new virtual reality (VR)-based rehabilitation program designed to help stroke survivors improve their walking abilities in real-world settings. By comparing immersive VR-assisted overground gait therapy to contemporary non-immersive, treadmill-based VR therapy (i.e., C-Mill), the investigators aim to determine its effectiveness in enhancing mobility and quality of life for stroke survivors.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis: Anischemic or hemorrhagic stroke verified by imaging, confirmed by the patient's physician, and 1-6 months post-stroke (subacute phase) * Motor Impairment Level: Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) 3-5, showing moderate impairment while still allowing safe participation in gait tasks. * Cognitive Function: Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score ≥ 24 or Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score \>= 20, indicating sufficient cognitive function to participate in the study. * Exercise Clearance: Approval from a physician for participation in exercise- and VR-based interventions. * Rehabilitation Need: 10-Meter Walk Test \
