Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of virtual reality application on quality of life and functionality, especially sitting balance, in hemiplegic patients.
This study was planned as a single-blind randomized controlled prospective study. Patients over 18 years of age with a diagnosis of hemiplegia who applied to GaziosmanpaÅŸa Training and Research Hospital PTR outpatient clinic and were hospitalized in the rehabilitation service and started a rehabilitation program; will be evaluated with Modified Ashworth, Tardiue Scale, Brunstrom assessment, Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale, Beck Anxiety Scale, Functional Independence Scale, Mini Mental State Test (MMDT), Mini Mental Test for the Uneducated, Postural Assessment Scale in Stroke Patients, Rivermead Motor Assessment Scale, Sitting Function Test, Berg Balance Scale, System Usability Scale before and after the program.
Patients who apply to the rehabilitation program will be randomly selected by closed envelope method. The first group will receive conventional rehabilitation program and home program. Conventional exercises* of the first group will be performed for 30 sessions of 1 hour every day, in addition to this, the patient will be given a home program.
In the second group, conventional exercises will be performed for 30 sessions of 1 hour every day. In addition to conventional exercises, this group will be enrolled in a balance game group using the Becure Balance System application and the WI balance board for 45 minutes 5 sessions a week.The necessary software and equipment for the virtual reality program were donated by Becure GmbH.
Both groups will be reassessed after 30 sessions. The physician performing the evaluation will be completed blindly by physiotherapists who apply the conventional exercises and the virtual reality program.
The study is a single-center clinical study using prospective data. Between 01.05.2024-01.08.2024, 36 patients are planned to be enrolled in the study.
*:Conventional exercise therapy includes range of motion, stretching, strengthening and balance exercises in patients with hemiplegia.

| modified ashworth scale | The modified Ashworth scale is the most universally accepted clinical tool used to measure the increase of muscle tone. | 1 month |
| Brunnstrom Stages | The Brunnstrom recovery stages (BRS) is a short and easily administered measure for assessing motor function. | 1 month |
| stroke-specific quality of life | The QOLS was originally a 15-item instrument that measured five conceptual domains of quality of life: material and physical well-being, relationships with other people, social, community and civic activities, personal development and fulfillment, and recreation. | 1 month |
| beck anxiety inventory | The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) consists of 21 self-reported items (four-point scale) used to assess the intensity of physical and cognitive anxiety symptoms during the past week. Scores may range from 0 to 63: minimal anxiety levels (0-7), mild anxiety (8-15), moderate anxiety (16-25), and severe anxiety (26-63). | 1 month |
| The Functional Independence Measure | The instrument includes measures of independence for self-care, including sphincter control, transfers, locomotion, communication, and social cognition. | 1 month |
| mini mental state examination | The maximum score for the MMSE is 30. A score of 25 or higher is classed as normal. If the score is below 24, the result is usually considered to be abnormal, indicating possible cognitive impairment. | 1 month |
