Effect of Virtual BASRD Reality Training Versus Conservative Treatment In Chronic Hemipretic Stroke Survivors

Balance and coordination were targeted through virtual stepping tasks, where participants practiced stepping in various directions to improve postural control and lower limb function. Additionally, they performed virtual balance exercises by standing on simulated platforms of varying stability. For gait and mobility, participants practiced walking in a virtual environment with real-time feedback to correct gait abnormalities. They also encountered virtual obstacles, which required them to adapt their walking patterns and improve mobility. In this study, both the intervention and control groups underwent a 6-week treatment plan consisting of 5 sessions per week, with each session lasting 45 minutes.

For gait training, participants practiced walking on flat surfaces, sometimes with the assistance of parallel bars or walking aids, to improve their walking speed, step length, and rhythm. They also performed sit-to-stand exercises to strengthen the lower limbs and improve mobility for daily activities. Additionally, manual therapy techniques, such as joint mobilizations and stretching, were applied to reduce spasticity and increase range of motion in the affected limbs. Both treatment groups progressed based on individual capabilities, with therapists adjusting exercises accordingly throughout the study. In this study, both the intervention and control groups underwent a 6-week treatment plan consisting of 5 sessions per week, with each session lasting 45 minutes.
