Evaluation of the Impact of Virtual Park on Training Motivation in Adult Patients

This pilot study tests VirtualPark, a virtual reality system that adds brain exercises to stationary bike training. Researchers compare cycling with and without VR, mainly measuring motivation and how easy the system is to use. Thinking and movement are checked as side measures. It is an early, small device study with no phase, so it is not proven.

You may qualify if
