Changes in cerebral blood flow before, during, and after forward and backward walking in stroke patients trained using virtual reality walking videos with deliberately induced inaccuracies in walking speed estimations

Conclusion] In the backward walking condition, greater activation of the right prefrontal cortex was observed during and immediately after the VR training. Watching VR may have led to inaccurate walking-speed estimations, necessitating postural control (which may be attributed to the activation of the prefrontal cortex) during walking.PMID:36213187 | PMC:PMC9535245 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.34.668
