Effects of the home-based exercise program with an augmented reality system on balance in patients with stroke: a randomized controlled trial

CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that the HEP with the AR system might be effective to improve balance in patients with stroke. However, more careful precautions for the HEP using the AR system are also required. Implications for rehabilitationBalance was modestly improved in both home-based exercise programs, slightly more in AR home exercise group.AR home-based program was significantly better in reducing fear of falling compared to the control group.No falls were recorded, however, safety for patients with arterial dissection needs to be carefully considered due to the possibility of adverse effects.PMID:35574910 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2022.2074154
