- Abstract
- Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of interactive video games (IVGs) in rehabilitation motivation and walking and balance abilities in chronic stroke patients.Materials and Methods: In this dual-center controlled trial, 24 chronic stroke patients from rehabilitation centers A and B were randomly assigned to an experimental (IVGs + traditional neurodevelopment treatment [TNT], n = 12) or a control group (walking training + TNT, n = 12). The patients in both the groups underwent TNT for 4 weeks (5 days/week) before undergoing either IVGs or walking training (4 weeks, 3 days/week) depending on the group. The primary and secondary outcomes were rehabilitation motivation and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score, Functional Reach Test (FRT) performance, and walking speed (WS), respectively.Results: The patients in both the groups showed significant increase in the BBS score, FRT performance, and WS; however, the experimental group showed more significant improvements in rehabilitation motivation (P = 0.02, eta(2) = 0.415) and WS (P = 0.05, eta(2) = 0.333) than the patients in the control group.Conclusion: This study suggests that the IVGs in combination with TNT provide effective rehabilitation motivation in chronic stroke patients.Clinical Trial Registration number: KCT0003408.
