Video game arm rehab at home for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a home-based video game program designed to help people with stroke improve arm and hand movement. If you have some movement in your affected arm and can use a computer, this trial may help you regain function through engaging, game-like exercises.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 20 and 80 years old.
- You need enough movement in your arms and hands to interact with video games (a study staff member will check this).
- You must have internet access at home.
- You should be comfortable using a computer, like browsing the internet.
- You must be able to sit without losing your balance while moving your arms and hands (a study staff member will check this).
