AB  - INTRODUCTION: This article is part of the Focus Theme of Methods of Information 
      in Medicine on "Methodologies, Models and Algorithms for Patients 
      Rehabilitation". OBJECTIVES: To identify support of a virtual reality system in 
      the kinematic assessment and physiotherapy approach to gait disorders in 
      individuals with stroke. METHODS: We adapt Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System 
      (VRRS), software widely used in the functional recovery of the upper limb, for 
      its use on the lower limb of hemiplegic patients. Clinical scales have been used 
      to relate them with the kinematic assessment provided by the system. A 
      description of the use of reinforced feedback provided by the system on the 
      recovery of deficits in several real cases in the field of physiotherapy is 
      performed. Specific examples of functional tasks have been detailed, to be 
      considered in creating intelligent health technologies to improve post-stroke 
      gait. RESULTS: Both participants improved scores on the clinical scales, the 
      kinematic parameters in leg stance on plegic lower extremity and walking speed > 
      Minimally Clinically Important Difference (MCID). CONCLUSION: The use of the VRRS 
      software attached to a motion tracking capture system showed their practical 
      utility and safety in enriching physiotherapeutic assessment and treatment in 
      post-stroke gait disorders.
