ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of two different rehabilitation methods for patients who have had a stroke: Virtual Reality (VR) exercises and Frenkel's exercises. The goal is to find out which method better helps improve balance, walking, and overall quality of life for stroke survivors. If you or a loved one is between the ages of 40 and 65 and has experienced a stroke, you might be eligible to participate in this study, especially if the stroke occurred recently and you haven't used VR rehabilitation before.

Participants in this trial can expect to engage in either VR exercises or traditional exercises designed to improve their physical abilities. The study is currently recruiting participants and aims to include individuals who have a good level of mental clarity, as measured by a simple test. However, those with serious mental health issues, recent injuries, or other specific health concerns may not qualify. This trial provides an opportunity to explore innovative rehabilitation options that could lead to better recovery outcomes for stroke patients.
