Indiana University Indianapolis received a $304,837 Project Grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), awarded on June 4, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2028. This Stage 1/2 study investigates the feasibility, usability, and therapeutic benefits of fully immersive virtual reality (VR) overground gait rehabilitation for stroke survivors. The research builds upon participatory design collaboration with physical therapists and stroke survivors to develop and validate a VR solution featuring three diverse real-world environments—city, beach, and airport settings—enabling realistic walking exercises for gait recovery. The primary deliverables under this award include the conduct of a pilot clinical trial to evaluate the feasibility and usability of the fully immersive VR-assisted overground gait training program, with the ultimate goal of demonstrating how this technology can maximize gait recovery, improve real-world mobility, promote independence, and enhance overall quality of life for stroke survivors. This research addresses critical gaps in current gait rehabilitation practices by providing a safer, controlled alternative to traditional real-world walking training while more closely replicating authentic environmental demands than existing VR-assisted treadmill approaches.Federal Grant Award Summary
