To see or not to see: Does foot visualization in immersive virtual reality influence gait parameters of youths with neuromotor impairments when performing walking-related activities?
Puntos clave
Foot visualization significantly enhances gait parameters in youths, making walking easier and more efficient.
Participants showed changes in gait dynamics, with particular improvements in stride length and cadence.
Analysis employed immersive virtual reality to simulate foot visualization during walking activities, providing a controlled environment.
These findings support the potential of immersive techniques in rehabilitation, requiring further studies for broader applications.
