Virtual reality software for recent stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality exercises can help people who recently had a stroke regain movement in their arms or legs. If you had a stroke 7 to 14 days ago and have weakness on one side, this study may help with your recovery.
