Virtual reality for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (a computer-generated 3D environment) during occupational therapy can help improve arm and hand function in people who have recently had a stroke. It is for patients admitted to an acute stroke unit who are ready to start rehabilitation.
