Virtual reality training for basketball players with challenges

This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises can help people who had a stroke regain movement in their arm and hand. It is for patients who had their first stroke 3 to 12 months ago and still have moderate arm weakness.
This trial tests a virtual-reality training program designed to help people with ALS (a progressive nervous-system disease) manage their condition. The program adapts to each person's needs and may help improve quality of life.
This study tests whether virtual reality training can help people who have uneven or asymmetrical walking patterns caused by neurological conditions (like stroke or Parkinson's). The goal is to see if VR-based exercises can improve balance and walking ability.
This trial tests whether virtual reality (a computer-made, 3D environment) can help people with shoulder problems recover better. You would use a VR headset for exercises, and the study will see if it improves your shoulder movement or pain.
This study uses a virtual reality “adventure” game that gets you moving to train exercise skills and coordination. It’s designed for U.S. military veterans who can walk on their own and don’t have certain vision, balance, or medical limits.
