Virtual Reality-Based Exercise in Cancer Patients With Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
The aim of the present study is to evaluate an innovative virtual reality-based balance
training intervention for improving clinically relevant motor performances (balance and
gait) in cancer patients.
The investigators hypothesize that the virtual reality-based balance training intervention
will improve balance and gait performances in cancer patients compared to a control group
receiving usual care only.
