The Effects of Rehabilitation Exercise Using a Home Video Game (PS2) on Gait Ability of Chronic Stroke Patients

The purpose of this study was investigate the effect of rehabilitation exercise using a home video game(PS2, Sony) on gait ability in the chronic stroke patients. The subjects of this study were 32 patients who underwent stroke for more than 6 months and were assigned to a game-based exercise group (n
