Virtual Reality Training for Arm Recovery After Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) games and tasks can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a first stroke 1 to 6 months ago and have some arm weakness but can sit up for 30 minutes.
