Body Weight-Supported and Virtual Reality Gait Training in Stroke Patients
A Comparative Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Body Weight-Supported Forward and Backward Gait Training Versus Virtual Reality-Assisted Gait Training in Patients With Stroke
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 24 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of body weight-supported gait training that includes virtual reality-assisted dual-task applications with body weight-supported forward and backward gait training on functional capacity, gait parameters (such as step length, gait speed, and balance), cognitive functions and psychological status in patients with stroke. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the development of more effective rehabilitation strategies for improving mobility in patients with stroke
