About this trial

VIRGIL is a monocentric interventional study aiming to investigate the effect of immersion in a virtual tilted room on modulation of the verticality representation (postural vertical \[PV\] and visual vertical \[VV\]), which in turn might affect body orientation (head and trunk). To this end, the investigators will conduct a within-person randomized trial including post-stroke patients and healthy participants.
