We examined effects of a visual search task (VST) in virtual reality (VR) with a moving background on spatial cognition and standing balance in left hemiparetic strokes. The VST with background deviation was allocated to Case A. In Case B, the VST without the deviation was performed. As a results, in Case A, the reaction time of VST was shortened in the paretic space and ability of weight-shift to the paretic side was improved. In conclusion, the VST in the VR with a spatial manipulation may improve spatial cognition and standing balance in left hemiparetic strokes.
