Virtual reality rehabilitation for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
