About This Stroke Study in Indianapolis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new virtual reality (VR)-based rehabilitation program designed to help stroke survivors improve their walking abilities in real-world settings. By comparing immersive VR-assisted overground gait therapy to contemporary non-immersive, treadmill-based VR therapy (i.e., C-Mill), the investigators aim to determine its effectiveness in enhancing mobility and quality of life for stroke survivors.
