This trial is testing a new way to help stroke survivors regain their walking ability using virtual reality (VR). You would wear a VR headset and walk on a special 360-degree treadmill while exploring a virtual Montreal shopping mall and streets. The study wants to see if this immersive, game-like approach makes walking practice more engaging and effective than traditional rehabilitation.
Many stroke survivors struggle to walk normally again and may be afraid to practice walking in real-world settings. This new treatment combines advanced technology with rehabilitation to make practice feel safer, more motivating, and closer to real-life walking situations.

You would come to the Jewish Rehabilitation Hospital twice a week for 4 weeks, with each session lasting about 1 hour. During each session, you would put on a VR headset and walk on the special treadmill while navigating a virtual shopping mall environment at your own comfortable pace. The research team would monitor how you feel, whether you experience any discomfort, and how well the technology works for you.
