Virtual reality walking rehab for brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether using virtual reality during walking exercises can help people with traumatic brain injury improve their walking. It may be a more engaging way to do physical therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed traumatic brain injury (TBI) from your doctor.
- You are able to think clearly enough to follow instructions (a short test will check this).
- Your doctor approves you for exercise.
- You have not had physical therapy in the last month.
- You can walk with help from one person or less (you don't need two people to support you).
- You are not allergic to virtual reality and don't get motion sickness from it.

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 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 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 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 virtual reality exercises can help people with walking problems caused by neurological conditions. It might help you walk more evenly and improve your gait.
