Virtual reality home therapy for arm recovery after stroke or Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a home-based rehabilitation program that uses virtual reality to help improve arm movement and thinking skills in people who have had a stroke or have Parkinson's disease. The program is done remotely, so you can participate from home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.

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.
This trial tests whether virtual reality therapy can help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke within the past 6 weeks to 6 months. You must be able to do some arm movement and have no major health issues that prevent participation.
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 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 study tests a virtual reality exercise program done at home to help improve movement and daily function after a stroke. It may be a good option if you can stand without support and are comfortable using a smartphone or computer.
This study tests a home-based program using a robotic device and video calls to help you regain arm movement after a stroke. If you qualify, you may be able to do therapy from the comfort of your home.
