Summary

This study tests whether a robotic arm trainer called BurtVision, which uses augmented reality games, can help chronic stroke survivors improve arm function. Thirty-eight participants will do 18 sessions of either one-arm tasks or a mix of one-arm and two-arm tasks. The goal is to see which approach better boosts real-world arm use and quality of life.
