VIrtual Reality Glasses Use to Improve Lateropulsion and the Post-stroke Postural Vertical

VIrtual Reality Glasses Use to Improve Lateropulsion and the Post-stroke Postural Vertical (VIRGIL)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 21 May 2025 · Not updated for over 12 months - ask the site whether it is still open

Brief summary (registry, in English)

VIRGIL is a monocentric interventional study aiming to investigate the effect of immersion in a virtual tilted room on modulation of the verticality representation (postural vertical \[PV\] and visual vertical \[VV\]), which in turn might affect body orientation (head and trunk). To this end, the investigators will conduct a within-person randomized trial including post-stroke patients and healthy participants.
