Brief Summary

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

Purpose: to observe the possible benefits produced by conventional therapy through virtual reality with the Nintendo Switch to try to improve motivation and increase the degree of care satisfaction. The aim is to improve postural control in both seated and standing positions and to maintain and improve cognitive capacity.

Material and methods: one group (experimental group) will receive a total of 8 one-hour sessions or 16 half-hour sessions, depending on their individual needs, for 8 weeks using the Nintendo Switch. The other group (control group) will continue to receive their conventional scheduled therapy.

Measures: Abilhand, MEC-Lobo, FIST, Fugl-Meyer, Berg Balance Scale and CSQ-8.
