Özet
BACKGROUND: Many studies have demonstrated positive effects of virtual reality (VR) and robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on balance, gait skills, functional capacity, active participation, and motivation in stroke patients, previously. However, the effects of VR augmented RAGT on dual-task performance which requires simultaneous use of motor and cognitive parameters have not been investigated. AIM: To primarily investigate the effects of virtual reality (VR) augmented robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on dual-task performance and secondarily, functional measurements in chronic stroke patients.DESIGN: A randomized, single-blind trial. SETTING: Inpatient rehabilitation center. POPULATION: The study included 30 chronic stroke patients aged between 40-65 with the level of≥ 3 from Functional Ambulation Classification and≥ 24 from the Standardized Mini Mental State Examination.METHODS: Fifteen patients in the study group received VR augmented RAGT and 15 patients in the control group received only RAGT during 12 sessions (six weeks). All patients received neurodevelopmental therapy in addition to their treatments, simultaneously. To evaluate dual-task performance, motor and cognitive tasks were given in addition to the 10 Meter Walk (first motor task), and durations were recorded in seconds. Functional measures such as Functional Gait Assessment, Rivermead Mobility Index, Berg Balance Scale, Fall Activity Scale International, and the functional independence Measure for gait, mobility, balance, fear of falling, and independence in daily living activities were also applied, consecutively.RESULTS: The mean age of the study …
