Virtual Reality Cycling to Improve Walking After Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a virtual reality headset while riding a stationary bike can help people who've had a stroke walk better. The combination of immersive gaming and exercise may retrain the brain and body to improve balance and gait.
