What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

While stroke survivors discharged from rehabilitation present with some recovery in mobility, their ability to ambulate in the community remains limited. The investigators propose to test a novel, low-cost, intensive and individually tailored intervention that combines virtual reality (VR) and field training to enhance community ambulation and participation in stroke survivors discharged from rehabilitation. The aims are to: (1) Assess feasibility, acceptability, safety and adherence of the intervention in stroke survivors; and (2) Examine the extent to which post-intervention changes in functional walking and participation to community walking vary according to walking, cognitive and visual-perceptual abilities. The investigators will use a virtual environment prototype simulating a shopping mall and surrounding streets, in which participants will interact using VR goggles and game co

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: People with chronic stroke and persistent deficits in walking / visual-perceptual / cognitive capacities. They can be male or female, aged from 40 to 74 years, with normal/corrected visual and auditory acuity, and present with: * First-ever supratentorial unilateral stroke 9-24 months ago (such chronicity will ensure steady-state mobility without long-term disuse-related changes * Mild-to-moderate hemiparesis (Chedoke McMaster Stoke Assessment stages 4/7-6/7 on postural control, leg \& foot) * Ability to walk independently with/without walking aids for at least 1 min at 0.4-0.9 m/s (such a speed range indicates mobility not sufficient for functional community ambulation: shopping \~1.1m/s, street crossing \~1.2 m/s) * Intact or mildly affected cognitive function (Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores ≥ 22/30) * Intact to moderately affected visual-perceptual function (positive scores on a maximum of 3/6 tasks on the Behavioural Inattention Test) Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects with comorbidities interfering with walking * Subjects with comorbidities interfering with visual perception * Subjects without medical clearance for exercise
