Manipulating spatial distance in virtual reality: Effects on treadmill walking performance in patients with intermittent claudication
作者：
Highlights：
• Patients with intermittent claudication walked with and without virtual reality.
• Walking distance (main outcome measure) was not influenced by adding virtual reality.
• Stretching and compressing the virtual environment led to increased walking distance.
• Participants walked furthest when presented with the stretched virtual environment.
• The results indicate that manipulating spatial distance can be of clinical relevance.
