Augmented reality training to improve balance after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of training that uses augmented reality (like a video game you see through special glasses) to help improve your balance and walking after a stroke. It might be a good fit if you had a single stroke more than 3 months ago and can already walk a little on your own.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 70 years old.
- Your stroke happened more than 3 months ago, and it was your first one.
- You can walk 10 meters (about the length of a bus) with or without a cane or someone's arm for balance.
- You have mild or no muscle tightness (spasticity) in your arms or legs.
- You can think clearly enough to follow instructions (like having a simple conversation).
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study tests whether combining augmented reality (a computer-based visual experience) with a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help improve balance and walking in people with balance impairment. You would receive therapy sessions using both technologies together.
This trial tests whether a special augmented-reality display can help people who have had a stroke walk more evenly by showing them real-time feedback about their step length. It is for people in the early recovery phase (2 weeks to 6 months after a first stroke) who have a noticeable difference in how far they step with each leg.
This study tests if using virtual reality headset games can help improve your balance, walking, daily activities, and quality of life after a recent stroke. If you join, you will do special balance and walking exercises with virtual reality.
This trial tests whether a special virtual-reality system that combines head movements and balance exercises can help improve walking and stability for people who have had a stroke. It is designed for those who are at least 6 months past their stroke and can walk with some help.
This study tests whether a combination of weight-supported walking equipment and virtual reality games can help stroke patients improve their walking ability and muscle control. The training aims to make walking safer and easier during recovery.
This trial tests whether robotic devices, virtual reality, or augmented reality can improve walking and balance during treadmill training for people who have had a single stroke. It aims to make rehab more engaging and effective.
