About this trial

This trial is enrolling 328 participants with neurological disorders, including spinal cord injury, to test the effect of virtual reality (VR)-based rehabilitation on movement control and mental performance. VR is a computer-generated experience of visual displays similar to the real world, delivered through head-mounted displays such as smart-glasses. If included, participants will be randomly assigned to either a VR training program or a traditional rehabilitation program, each consisting of 20 sessions over 8 weeks. Final testing of movement control and mental performance will be performed after 3 months.
