Virtual Reality Therapy for Hand and Wrist Injuries
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (immersive computer simulations) during rehabilitation can help you recover better after a traumatic hand or wrist injury. The goal is to see if this approach improves how well your hand works and feels after healing.
