This study tests whether using a virtual reality game (like the Wii) helps improve arm movement and brain recovery in people who had a stroke in the last three months. It may offer a fun way to practice arm exercises during rehabilitation.
This trial tests two types of physical therapy—pulsed electromagnetic therapy and whole body vibration—to see which one helps strengthen the thigh muscles after a burn injury. It may help you recover better strength in your legs.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (a special 3D headset) during burn dressing changes can help reduce pain and fear in children. It might make the procedure more comfortable and less scary for your child.
This study tests whether special jump exercises (called plyometrics) can improve leg function and knee movement in children who have healed from burns. If your child has limited knee movement from a burn, these exercises might help them move better.
