Augmented reality feedback to improve walking after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if using augmented reality glasses that show real-time feedback can help people who have had a stroke walk with more even steps. You would wear the glasses while walking to see how your steps compare, helping you adjust your gait.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a first stroke (not brain stem or cerebellum) within the last 2 weeks to 6 months.
- You can walk for at least 2.5 minutes with or without a cane or walker.
- One of your steps is noticeably longer than the other (asymmetry).
- You have good corrected vision, no visual field loss.
- You have no other medical condition (besides the stroke) that limits walking.
- You are able to provide informed consent.

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.
This study tests a new type of therapy using augmented reality games to help improve your balance and ability to walk after a stroke. It might help you feel steadier and move around more easily.
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 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 study uses a special brain-scanning technique to guide video feedback training for people who have had a stroke, aiming to improve walking ability. It is for those who can move their legs a little and understand instructions.
