Virtual reality rehab after ischemic stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) exercises in the hospital can help people recover arm movement and function after an ischemic stroke. You may be a candidate if you have weakness in one arm and can follow directions.
