Overview
Brief Summary
Randomized clinical trial based on the application of virtual reality and video games together with physiotherapy treatment in stroke patients, with the main objective of determining their beneficial effects.
Detailed Description
21 participants who will be divided by randomization between a control group and an experimental group. The results will be quantified with the following scales: Modified Asworth (spasticity). Daniels et al (muscle strength) Tinetti (balance and gait) Berg (balance) Joint range

- •Patients who have suffered a stroke in the last two years.
- •Patients with an age range between 18 and 80 years old.
- •Patients with stroke with the ability to have minimal manual pressure with one limb.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Strength
Time Frame: One month
Strength measurement using the Daniels and Worthingham Scale. Minimum value = 0 , maximum value = 5. Higher scores mean a better outcome.
Spasticity
Time Frame: One month
Spasticity measurement using the Ashworth modified scale. Minimum value = 0, maximum value = 4. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.
Gait
Time Frame: One month
Gait measurement using the Tinetti scale. Minimum value = 0, maximum value = 28. Higher scores mean a better outcome.
Balance
Time Frame: One month
Balance using the Berg Balance Scale. Minimum value = 0, maximum value = 56. Higher scores mean a better outcome.
Joint range
Time Frame: One month
Joint range measure using goniometer
