Effect of Kinect Based Upper Extremity Exergaming on Trunk Control and Postural Stability in Stroke Patients
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 7 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This research study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Kinect-based upper extremity exergaming in improving trunk control, postural stability, upper limb function, and quality of life among individuals recovering from stroke. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted, enrolling 40 participants between the ages of 40 and 60 years, within three months post-stroke. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups: one group will receive Kinect-based virtual reality upper limb training, while the other will undergo conventional task-oriented upper extremity rehabilitation. Both groups will additionally receive standard physiotherapy as required. The intervention will span eight weeks, comprising three sessions per week, each lasting 30 to 45 minutes. Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, at the fourth week, and at the conclusion of the eighth week using validated tools including the Trunk Impairment Scale, Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS), Modified Functional Reach Test, Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper Extremity, Wolf Motor Function Test, and Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale. By examining the potential cross-regional benefits of upper limb virtual reality-based training on trunk control and postural stability, this study seeks to contribute to the development of evidence-based, technologically integrated rehabilitation protocols for stroke patients.
