Study Summary

This trial looks at how well Virtual Reality (VR) and exercises can help people with stroke regain arm movement. #VR #StrokeRehab

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have limited arm movement because of it. They must not be doing Yoga or Tai-Chi during the study, should have no severe cognitive issues, and can't have had multiple strokes or conditions like cyber-sickness that could affect participation.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests how well immersive Virtual Reality (VR) therapy combined with specific tasks helps improve arm function in people who've had a stroke. It looks to see if this high-tech approach encourages more arm movement than traditional methods.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include discomfort from wearing VR equipment, dizziness or nausea due to motion sickness within the virtual environment (known as cyber-sickness), and fatigue from performing tasks.
