Navigating in virtual worlds after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old.
- You had one moderate or severe traumatic brain injury (not a penetrating injury) at least 3 months ago.
- You can walk at least 20 meters without help, at a speed of at least 0.8 meters per second.
- You can stand and move around safely (timed up-and-go test under 16 seconds).
- You can answer simple questions and give written consent.
- You do not have uncontrolled epilepsy, severe vision problems, or other conditions affecting walking.

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.
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 trial tests whether immersive virtual reality can help people with brain injury who have spatial neglect (trouble noticing things on one side). You would use VR goggles to do tasks aimed at improving attention and arm movement.
This trial tests if virtual reality exercises can help children aged 8-12 with mild or moderate traumatic brain injury improve their attention and thinking skills. It is designed for children whose challenges were confirmed by a psychologist and who speak Finnish.
This study tests whether virtual reality with extra sensory stimulation can help reduce emotional or behavioral problems in people who have had a brain injury and live in a nursing home. The goal is to see if it improves their quality of life.
This study tests whether interactive virtual reality (VR) games help people recover arm and leg movement better than passive VR during rehabilitation. It is for people who had a stroke or traumatic brain injury at least 2 weeks ago.
