Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about effects of virtual reality combined with conventional therapy on the balance, gait, and quality of life in stroke patients in the subacute and chronic stages. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Virtual reality combined conventional therapy interventions can improve the gait, balance and functional status of stroke patients or not?

Participants will asked to do about 3 tasks in virtual reality intervention

* Walk in the flat ground
* Cross the obstacle on the ground
* Cross to moving obstacles

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators referred to the scenes designed by previous studies to develop the three virtual environments employed in this study and made slight modifications according to Taiwan's conditions. Google Earth Virtual Reality (Google Inc., Mountain View, California, U.S., 2017) was uesd for the first and second task and Street Champ Virtual Reality (Zynk Software Srl , Cluj, Romania, 2016) was used for the third task.

Time constraints, terrain changes, and moving obstacles were set to increase the difficulty of the walking task. The speed obtained by the 10-m walking pretest was used as the training benchmark. The participants had to complete a task three times to proceed to the next level.

For Patient Registries: on-site audit.The subjects were referred from the rehabilitation Clinic of Kaohsiung Municipal Ta-Tung Hospital

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

The subjects that received virtual reality functional gait training for 12 sessions. During the virtual reality intervention, they also received routine conventional rehabilitation therapy for twice a week, and training lasted for one hour. The 6-minute walking test (6MWT), 10-meter walk test (10MWT), Berg balance scale (BBS) and Chinese version of the Activities specific Balance Confidence scale were assessed pre- and post-intervention.
