Effectiveness of VR Rehabilitation for People With Asymmetrical Gait Patterns

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Disability Evaluation, Recovery of Function, Rehabilitation

In brief

A randomized comparative study will be conducted to evaluate the rehabilitation process using a VR-based application versus conventional therapy in 40 patients (sample size determined using a sample size calculator). After meeting the eligibility criteria, participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: the experimental group (20 patients with gait pattern asymmetry), performing a gait training program using a VR rehabilitation application, and the control group (20 patients with gait pattern asymmetry), performing only a conventional gait training program. Participants in both groups will take part in a 2-week rehabilitation program (Monday to Friday), with daily training sessions lasting up to 2 hours. Patient assessment will be conducted twice: an initial evaluation before the start of the intervention (Assessment I) and a follow-up evaluation after completion of the 2-week program (Assessment II), at the same time of day, under the same conditions, and using the same measurement tools.
