Brief Summary

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

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining virtual reality (VR) therapy with traditional physiotherapy in post-stroke rehabilitation. Post-stroke patients often suffer from impairments in motor function, balance, and overall quality of life. While traditional physiotherapy is a widely accepted method for stroke recovery, incorporating VR technology may enhance treatment outcomes by providing an engaging, immersive environment that motivates patients to perform therapeutic movements.

Detailed Description

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

This study will compare the functional and quality-of-life improvements in patients undergoing traditional physiotherapy alone versus those receiving a combination of conventional physiotherapy and VR interventions. By assessing changes in motor function, trunk stability, balance, and quality of life, this research will provide valuable insights into whether VR can be an effective adjunctive tool in post-stroke rehabilitation programs.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Interventional group I

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Traditional Physiotherapy Group

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Participants receive standard physiotherapy exercises aimed at improving motor function, balance, and trunk stability. These exercises include stretching, balance training, and muscle-strengthening activities.

Interventional group II

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

VR + Traditional Physiotherapy Group

Intervention Type COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Participants receive the same physiotherapy exercises as the traditional group, but with additional sessions involving virtual reality exercises. The VR component includes immersive activities that stimulate motor control, coordination, and cognitive engagement to support functional recovery.
