What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial is to: (1) implement and test the feasibility of a new VR-ODT intervention offered as part of usual therapy time of patients with a sub-acute stoke; (2) explore the acceptability of the intervention from the perspective of clinicians and patients and; (3) implement measures to optimize the uptake and sustainability of the intervention within the clinical setting. Participants will engage in a personalized VR-ODT training for 4 weeks (2X 1hr/week) targeting six well-established community walking demands related to (1) walking speed and (2) distance; (3) postural transitions; (4) obstacle avoidance; (5) dual-task walking and; (6) a combination of demands 1-5. For each demand, patients will progress through levels of increasing difficulty according to personalized goals and success criteria.
