The Effects of Treadmill Training using Mirror and Virtual Reality on Walking of Stroke Patients.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences in effect of using mirror and virtual reality treadmill training on stroke patients. Method: Three patients who had stroke performed treadmill training using mirror and virtual reality. We tested treadmill training programs on subjects 30 min per day, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. Before and after these experiments, we measured gait parameters on each subject. Results: After 4 weeks of training, we found the significant improvements on cadence and step length on treadmill training using mirror and virtual reality. Conclusion: The results suggested that meaningful differences between mirror and virtual reality on improvement of walking ability with stroke patients.
