The Effects of Augmented Reality Versus Virtual Reality
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Stroke
In brief
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR)-assisted treadmill gait training on balance and walking in individuals with stroke, within the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). A total of 66 post-stroke patients will be randomly assigned to three groups: (1) VR group receiving gait training via C-Mill VR applications in addition to conventional physiotherapy, (2) AR group receiving gait training via C-Mill AR applications in addition to conventional physiotherapy, and (3) control group receiving a home exercise program alongside conventional physiotherapy. Participants will train for 45 minutes per day, five days a week, for three weeks. Outcome measures will include clinical, functional, cognitive, and spatiotemporal gait parameters to evaluate changes in balance and walking ability before and after the intervention.
