Virtual reality training for better walking after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a virtual reality program that combines thinking and walking exercises to help improve your balance and walking speed. It may be a good fit if you have a traumatic brain injury and walk more slowly than usual.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) for at least 6 months.
- You can walk, but at a slower pace (less than 0.8 meters per second).
- You can stand for 5 minutes on your own.
- You do not have uncontrolled seizures or other medical conditions that make exercise risky.
- You have no leg or foot injuries in the past 6 months that affect walking.

This study tests whether training on a robotic device can help improve balance and posture for people who had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) within the last 6 months to 5 years. It may help if you have some balance issues and can stand without support for 5 minutes.
This study tests if walking in a virtual reality environment helps people with traumatic brain injury improve their balance and walking ability. It uses a harness and VR goggles to make therapy engaging and safe.
This study looks at how people who had a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury at least 3 months ago walk and navigate in complex virtual environments. Participants will use virtual reality to test their movement strategies.
This study tests a combined physical and mental training program to improve walking, balance, and reduce falls in older adults with mild memory problems. It involves supervised exercise and MRI brain scans to see if this helps your body and mind work together better.
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).
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.
