This trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) can improve the well-being of elderly patients during a hospital stay in a rehabilitation unit. If you join, you'll use a VR headset to relax or engage in activities, and researchers will see how it affects your mood and comfort.
This study uses virtual reality to help people who have had a stroke improve their walking. It provides feedback on how you push off with your feet, which may strengthen your walking pattern.
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 uses virtual reality (a computer-generated 3D environment) to test how well you can move and keep your balance. It may help doctors better understand and improve mobility in older adults.
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 study tests whether using virtual reality (wearing a headset with special programs) combined with occupational therapy can help older adults improve balance, reduce falls, and become less frail. If you join, you would do these exercises during your rehabilitation sessions at the residence.
