Virtual Reality-Enhanced Rehabilitation for Upper Limb Recovery in Acute Post-Stroke Patients

Category Primary study
Registry of TrialsClinicalTrials.gov
Year 2025
Post-stroke rehabilitation is essential for maximising motor recovery. Virtual reality (VR) is emerging as a promising adjunct to conventional therapy (CRT), potentially enhancing upper limb motor outcomes. The goals of the study are: 1. To evaluate the efficiency of VR in addition to CRT on upper limb function in the acute phase of post-stroke rehabilitation, which is underrepresented in the literature. 2. To explore the relationship between cognitive impairment and upper limb motor recovery using VR. The investigators hypothesise that combining VR and CRT improves upper limb functional outcomes in acute stroke beyond the effects of CRT.
