From the registry
Unilateral motor deficits, such as paresis and tone disorders, are frequent consequences of stroke and lead to gait impairments. Among these, spatial asymmetry is characterized by differences in step length between the paretic and non-paretic limbs, resulting in balance problems and an increased risk of falls. Conventional rehabilitation has shown limited effectiveness in addressing this issue, highlighting the need for innovative approaches. Real-time feedback interventions, particularly through augmented reality (AR), may help improve gait asymmetry by providing a more natural and interactive learning environment. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of two types of real-time visual feedback, an avatar-based system and visual bars, in improving gait symmetry and other locomotor parameters in individuals post-stroke. It will also assess the acceptability and usability of the intervention, participants' sense of presence, and the potential for cybersickness induced by these systems. A repeated-measures design will be used to evaluate the immediate effectiveness of the two…
