About this trial
This study aims to understand how balance and walking abilities recover after a stroke, using innovative tools like an interactive assessment game. By observing patients over time, the investigators seek to identify recovery patterns that can improve rehabilitation strategies tailored to individual needs.
Interacting with a game designed to assess balance and movement, participants will perform tasks involving sitting balance, standing balance, and gait initiation. The game measures aspects like reaction time, movement accuracy, and postural control, providing detailed insights into recovery progress. These data will validate prediction models to support personalized care.
The study is non-invasive, does not interfere with usual care, and prioritizes patient safety. The investigators' ultimate goal is to enhance the understanding of recovery, leading to better care and improved quality of life for stroke survivors.
