An interventional study of Extended Reality based Gait Rehabilitation in Gait Rehabilitation, sponsored by University at Albany. Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-06-29.
Sponsored by University at Albany · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This pilot study will evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of incorporating Extended Reality (XR) into the treatment of patients undergoing Lower Limb Rehabilitation (LLR) using the Vector Gait and Safety System. LLR requires repetitive motions over the span of weeks or months with the aim of restoring mobility. This duration of time poses challenges with motivation and increases the burden on the physical therapists. The use of XR in conjunction with conventional physical therapy could significantly increase motivation, along with providing therapists with new ways of tracking the patient's recovery. Pilot study results will be used to propose new and innovative approaches to physical recovery during inpatient rehabilitation, potentially increasing motivation, enhancing therapy participation, and reducing the overall time taken for recovery.
University at Albany is the lead sponsor of 9 studies on the registry; 1 is open to participants now.

Inclusion Criteria:
Individuals receiving Vector-based therapy will also receive Extended Reality (XR) during Vector sessions. The Extended Reality consists of mobility based tasks spaced along the Vector track that are executed through the XR headset.
Other: Extended Reality based Gait Rehabilitation
XR headset augmenting traditional Vector based gait rehabilitation.
Gait Speed
Establish the efficacy of integrating Extended Reality (XR) with Vector treatment sessions during inpatient rehabilitation by monitoring the change in gait speed over sessions.
Time frame: 2 months
Patient Motivation
Track patient motivation over sessions as measured by post session survey response on a 5 point Likert Scale (1-Not motivated, 5 - Very motivated).
Time frame: 2 months
Patient Confidence
Patient confidence in their rehabilitation while using the XR system. Measured by collecting patient feedback on post session survey using a 5 point Likert Scale (1- Not confident, 5- Very confident)
Time frame: 2 months
Patient Satisfaction
Measure how satisfied patient is with their recovery using the XR system. Captured using post session survey question with a 5 point Likert Scale (1-Very dissatisfied, 5- Very satisfied).
Time frame: 2 months
Ease of Use, Enjoyability and Comfort
How easy, enjoyable and comfortable the overall system was for patients to use. Captured through post session survey questions with a 5 point Likert Scale for each (1- Very difficult/Not enjoyable/ Very uncomfortable, 5 - Very Easy/Very Enjoyable/Very comfortable).
Time frame: 2 months
End of study patient feedback
Feedback regarding challenges/difficulties, enjoyability, frustrations, and general suggestions. Collected post rehabilitation via a questionnaire.
Time frame: 2 months
Patient perceived effectiveness and challenge level
Effectiveness of XR session for patient rehabilitation, along with challenge posed via each task for the patient. Collected via post session survey questions with a 5 point Likert Scale (1-Not Effective/Much more challenging, 5- Very effective/Not challenging at all)
Time frame: 2 months
