Virtual reality training to improve community walking after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether virtual reality plus field (real-world) practice can improve walking and related thinking/vision skills after stroke. It may help you walk more safely and confidently in everyday community settings (like getting around outdoors).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first stroke on one side of the brain, between 9 and 24 months ago
- You’re 40 to 74 years old
- You have mild-to-moderate weakness on one side and ongoing walking problems
- You can walk on your own (with or without a walking aid) for at least 1 minute, at a slower-but-not-too-slow pace
- Your vision and hearing are normal or corrected (like with glasses or hearing aids)
- You can do basic exercise safely based on medical clearance

This study tests whether virtual reality (an immersive computer game) can help improve your walking after a stroke. You will use a VR headset while walking on a treadmill to make rehab more engaging and effective.
This trial tests whether a special augmented-reality display can help people who have had a stroke walk more evenly by showing them real-time feedback about their step length. It is for people in the early recovery phase (2 weeks to 6 months after a first stroke) who have a noticeable difference in how far they step with each leg.
This study tests if using a virtual reality headset during walking exercises can help people who had a stroke within the past 1 to 6 months improve their walking. You might be able to join if you can walk a bit but still need help or practice, and your doctor approves.
This study tests whether a combination of weight-supported walking equipment and virtual reality games can help stroke patients improve their walking ability and muscle control. The training aims to make walking safer and easier during recovery.
This trial tests whether adding virtual reality to robot-assisted walking therapy helps people who have had a stroke and cannot walk. It is for patients who had a first stroke in the past 15 days to 6 months.
This trial tests whether a special virtual-reality system that combines head movements and balance exercises can help improve walking and stability for people who have had a stroke. It is designed for those who are at least 6 months past their stroke and can walk with some help.
