Virtual home therapy for hand recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a home-based virtual reality system designed to help people who have had a stroke improve hand and arm function. The system uses games and activities to guide your movements, and you can use it at home with or without a caregiver's help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke that affected your hand or arm function on one side of your body.
- At least 3 months have passed since your stroke.
- You can move at least one finger on your affected hand enough for a therapist to see the movement.
- You can see well with glasses or contacts (20/50 or better).
- You have enough strength in your shoulder and elbow to move your arm against gravity.

This trial tests whether using virtual reality can help improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It compares this modern rehabilitation approach to standard therapy for people who had a stroke 3 to 12 months ago.
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.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (a computer-generated environment you can interact with) during rehabilitation helps improve arm movement after a recent stroke. If you are in the hospital recovering from a stroke and have arm weakness, this therapy might help you regain strength and coordination.
