About this trial

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the tolerance of the use of immersive virtual reality (VR) during robotic walking rehabilitation sessions by Gait Trainer (GT) in post-stroke patients.

Secondary objectives aim to evaluate the motivation to participate in VR sessions compared to conventional sessions, the participants' sense of presence within the virtual environment, and the usability of the rehabilitation device created. Finally, we will report the actual walking time and number of steps stroke patients take in VR sessions and conventional sessions.
