BACKGROUND: Active performance is crucial for motor learning, and, together with motivation, is believed to be associated with a better rehabilitation outcome. Virtual reality (VR) is an innovative approach to engage and motivate patients during training. There is promising evidence for its efficiency in retraining upper limb function. However, there is insufficient proof for its effectiveness in gait training.AIM: To evaluate the acceptability of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) with and without VR and the feasibility of potential outcome measures to guide the planning of a larger randomized controlled trial (RCT).DESIGN: Single-blind randomized controlled pilot trial with two parallel aims.SETTING: Rehabilitation hospital.POPULATION: Twenty subacute stroke patients (64 +/- 9 years) with a Functional Ambulation Classification (FAC)
