Driving Simulator for Balance and Movement Rehabilitation
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a special driving simulator with virtual reality to help people recover balance and awareness of body position after stroke, Parkinson's disease, ALS, or mild memory problems. Researchers want to see if this new device can improve movement and balance better than standard therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old (or 18–65 if you're a healthy volunteer with no neurological condition)
- You have been diagnosed with stroke, Parkinson's disease, ALS, or mild cognitive impairment—or you are a healthy volunteer
- You can stand on a platform and have leg strength in both legs (at least a little; your doctor will check this)
- You weigh 100 kg (220 lbs) or less
- You do not have severe heart disease, lung disease, or other serious medical problems that would make using a virtual reality headset unsafe
- You have not been in another rehabilitation program in the last 3 months
