This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining virtual reality (VR) therapy with traditional physiotherapy in post-stroke rehabilitation. Post-stroke patients often suffer from impairments in motor function, balance, and overall quality of life. While traditional physiotherapy is a widely accepted method for stroke recovery, incorporating VR technology may enhance treatment outcomes by providing an engaging, immersive environment that motivates patients to perform therapeutic movements.
This study will compare the functional and quality-of-life improvements in patients undergoing traditional physiotherapy alone versus those receiving a combination of conventional physiotherapy and VR interventions. By assessing changes in motor function, trunk stability, balance, and quality of life, this research will provide valuable insights into whether VR can be an effective adjunctive tool in post-stroke rehabilitation programs.

| Traditional Physiotherapy Group | Diagnostic Test | Participants receive standard physiotherapy exercises aimed at improving motor function, balance, and trunk stability. These exercises include stretching, balance training, and muscle-strengthening activities. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Berg Balance Scale (BBS) | Assesses balance and stability.- *Purpose*: Assesses balance in older adults and individuals with balance disorders.
| 12 Months |
| Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) | Measures trunk control and stability. SF-12 Health Survey: Evaluates quality of life in physical and mental health domains.The *Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS)* is a clinical tool used to assess trunk performance in individuals, particularly those with neurological impairments like stroke. It measures three key aspects: *static sitting balance, **dynamic sitting balance, and **coordination of trunk movements. The scale consists of **17 items*, with scores ranging from 0 to 23. Higher scores indicate better trunk control and stability. It helps clinicians evaluate and track improvements in trunk function over time, guiding rehabilitation interventions. | 12 Months |
