Author(s): Nihitha Siriguppa* and B. N. Prem Kumar
Background and objectives: Stroke is a neurological deficit, caused due to vascular changes. Impaired postural control and balance impairments in
post stroke patients associated with high risk of fall among the stroke patients. The perturbation-based balance training is mainly used in older adults
and balance impairment. Virtual Reality (VR) as a novel technology is rapidly becoming a popular intervention for improving balance. VR can visualize
the computer- generated environments with full field of view by Head Mounted Displays (HMD-VR). This study was conducted to assess and investigate
the effect of balance exercises with smart phone based virtual reality programme on balance in stroke patients.
Method: This was a randomized single-group pre and post-test study design. 30 subjects met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled.. Read More»
