Brief summary
The aim of study is to determine whether the Virtual Reality training applied in addition to the exercises given inside and outside the parallel bar is effective on balance, daily living activities and knee control in stroke patients. The hypotheses of the study are: Hypothesis 1: H0: Virtual reality training has no effect on balance in stroke patients. H1: Virtual reality training has an effect on balance in stroke patients. Hypothesis 2; H0: Virtual reality training has no effect on activities of daily living in stroke patients. H1: Virtual reality training has an effect on daily living activities in stroke patients. Hypothesis 3; H0: Virtual reality training has no effect on knee control in stroke patients. H1: Virtual reality training has an effect on knee control in stroke patients
Detailed description
In recent years, virtual reality systems are widely preferred technology-assisted rehabilitation methods due to the many advantages they provide in stroke rehabilitation. Virtual reality increases the quality of movement and functional capacity both by providing a sensory environment and by motor learning.
Interventions
OTHERVirtual Reality Therapy
Patients in this group will play balance-based games with the Virtual Reality System.
OTHERConventional Rehabilitation
In the conventional rehabilitation program, bed exercises, mat activities, balance exercises inside or outside the parallel bar and walking training will be given to the patients every weekday.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Computerized Gait Assessment System (Zebris Rehawalk) | Baseline | Participants will walk at a comfortable walking speed on the treadmill. During the walk, the walk will be recorded with the video camera system integrated into the device. With the help of the system, the knee hyperextension angle during walking will be calculated with the markers placed on the recorded video. |
| Barthel Index | Baseline | This scale consists of 10 items that evaluate nutrition, bathing, self-care, dressing, defecation control, urine control, going to the toilet, ability to move from bed to wheelchair, mobility status such as walking or being dependent on a wheelchair, and stair climbing functions. |
| Functional Reach Test | Baseline | It is based on the principle of lifting the arm 90° upwards and reaching forward as far as possible while keeping the feet on the ground. 15 cm. and the risk of falling below 15 cm increases significantly, between 15 and 25 cm. indicates a moderate risk of falling. Values less than 25.4 cm indicate an increased risk of falling. |
| Timed Up and Go Test | Baseline | It is an objective, reliable and simple measure for assessing balance and functional mobility. It can also be used for assessment of fall risk. |
