Virtual reality for arm rehab after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if immersive virtual reality can help people recover arm movement after a recent stroke. If you had a first stroke within the last month and still have arm weakness, this might be an option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
