STROKE
A total of 40 participants were recruited, of which 34 met the eligibility criteria. The participants were allocated to the VRT or VR groups. Two participants from the VRT group and 2 from the VR group dropped out because of transportation concerns or caregivers unavailability, leaving 15 in each group. The demographics of the study show that the mean ± standard deviation of the age of the participants of VRT group was 54.87 ± 9.47years and VR group was 49.73 ± 5.81 with no significant difference at baseline with At baseline, the TUG scores of both groups showed impaired balance in the stroke patients. When analyzing the between-group scores for the TUG, the participants in the VRT group and VR group showed significant improvement in balance, with Difference between the vestibular and virtual reality groups on TUG, DHI, DHI: physical, DHI: emotional, DHI: functional, DGI. DGI = dynamic gait index, DHI = dizziness handicap inventory, TUG = time up and go.When analyzing the within-group scores, a significant improvement was seen in the VRT VR groups in terms of the TUG and DHI a with Within-group comparison of the TUG and DHI outcome measures.DGI = dynamic gait index, DHI = dizziness handicap inventory, TUG = time up and go, VR = virtual reality, VRT = vestibular.Between groups comparison showed significant improvement in DGI score with a Within & between-group comparison of DGI outcome.DGI = dynamic gait index, SD = standard deviation, SD = standard deviation, VR = virtual reality, VRT = vestibular.
