Virtual reality balance training for healthy young adults
This study tests whether a virtual reality balance-training program improves how well people control their posture and respond to sudden balance challenges. You would do standing balance tests and training sessions with head and weight-shift movements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can stand by yourself without a cane, walker, or other assistive device
- You are between 18 and 35 years old
- In the past 6 months, you have not had concussion or vestibular (inner ear) balance problems
- You do not have nerve-related conditions that affect your legs or foot sensation
- You do not have major neck movement limits or significant vision problems (need corrected 20/50 or better)

This trial tests whether a fun virtual reality game (like a video game you do standing up) can improve balance and walking better than a set of simple exercises. It is for older adults who can still walk on their own but want to stay steady on their feet.
This study compares virtual reality exercises to standard physical therapy for improving balance in people with one leg amputated below the knee. It may help you regain better balance and confidence in walking.
This study tests whether a virtual reality version of a common balance test works well for healthy young adults. If you are between 18 and 30 years old and have no health issues, you may be able to join.
This study uses virtual reality tasks to understand and compare balance and movement in children with long-term inner-ear (vestibular) problems versus those without. It may help doctors learn what supports best balance and safety during daily activities.
This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises can improve balance in people with cerebral palsy. It is designed for young adults who can walk independently and have spasticity on one side of the body.
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.
