In the researchers' words
The effectiveness of applying robot-assisted walking training together with conventional physiotherapy is widely accepted. Virtual reality is another component and its contribution to rehabilitation is important. When we look at the literature on virtual reality applications on balance and walking, it is seen that some systems are beneficial while some systems have no effect. This raises the possibility that virtual reality applications may produce different results due to the task in the exercise, patient motivation or any other reason. There is a need to investigate whether virtual reality applications have different effects, if any, what is the source of this and what care should be taken in the development of these applications in the future. Therefore, we focused on investigating the different effects of Lokomat virtual reality applications.
