Researchers are evaluating a low-cost augmented reality platform for balance training in patients with balance disorders caused by degenerative injuries or cerebrovascular diseases. The study aims to determine if the system is usable, acceptable, safe, and if it improves balance. The trial is a usability study conducted by the Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron Research Institute. The intervention has two phases: the first phase lasts four weeks with supervised balance training sessions at the hospital, conducted for 60 minutes, three times a week. If patients meet inclusion criteria, the intervention continues for two additional weeks at home with a family member trained to assist as a training partner. The platform uses different exercise protocols accessed through RGSweb, including balance and sit-to-stand exercises with visual targets and movement tracking. Participants undergo three assessments: before treatment (Day 0), after the hospital phase (Week 4), and after the home phase (Week 6). Evaluations include usability scales, adherence measures, balance tests like the Berg Balance Scale, postural sway, sit-to-stand tests, balance confidence, and quality of life questionnaires. Safety is monitored throughout, and adherence is tracked during both hospital and home interventions.
