N2  - PURPOSE: To determine the effects of a structured protocol using commercial video games on balance, postural control, functionality, quality of life, and level of motivation in patients with subacute stroke. <br><br>METHODS: A randomized controlled trial was conducted. A control group (<i>n</i> = 25) received eight weeks of conventional rehabilitation consisting of five weekly sessions based on an approach for task-oriented motor training. The experimental group (<i>n</i> = 25) received eight weeks of conventional rehabilitation consisting of five weekly sessions based on an approach for task-oriented motor training. The experimental group (. <br><br>RESULTS: In the between-group comparison, statistically significant differences were observed in the Modified Rankin scores (<i>p</i> < 0.01), the Barthel Index (<i>p</i> < 0.01), the Barthel Index (<i>p</i> < 0.01), the Barthel Index (<i>p</i> < 0.01), the Barthel Index (<i>p</i> < 0.01), the Barthel Index (<i>p</i> < 0.01), the Barthel Index (<i>p</i> < 0.01), the Barthel Index (<i>p</i> < 0.01), the Barthel Index (<i>p</i> < 0.01), the Barthel Index (<i>p</i> < 0.01), the Barthel Index (<i>p</i> < 0.01), the Barthel Index (. <br><br>CONCLUSION: A protocol of semi-immersive video-game based therapy, combined with conventional therapy, may be effective for improving balance, functionality, quality of life, and motivation in patients with subacute stroke.
