Study Details

Study Description

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Strength [One month]

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

  2. Spasticity [One month]

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

  3. Gait [One month]

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

  4. Balance [One month]

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

  5. Joint range [One month]

    Joint range measure using goniometer
