Brief Summary

Randomized clinical trial based on the application of virtual reality and video games together with physiotherapy treatment in stroke patients, with the main objective of determining their beneficial effects.

Conditions

Stroke; Virtual Reality; Physical Therapy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Strength

  Strength measurement using the Daniels and Worthingham Scale. Minimum value = 0 , maximum value = 5. Higher scores mean a better outcome.

  One month

• Spasticity

  Spasticity measurement using the Ashworth modified scale. Minimum value = 0, maximum value = 4. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

  One month

• Gait

  Gait measurement using the Tinetti scale. Minimum value = 0, maximum value = 28. Higher scores mean a better outcome.

  One month

• Balance

  Balance using the Berg Balance Scale. Minimum value = 0, maximum value = 56. Higher scores mean a better outcome.

  One month

• Joint range

  Joint range measure using goniometer

  One month
