Summary

This study tests whether adding mixed reality games to standard physical therapy helps people who have had a stroke regain arm movement and trunk stability. Participants will either receive traditional therapy alone or traditional therapy plus sessions using a mixed reality headset that guides them through reaching and moving tasks. The goal is to see if the immersive, game-like environment makes rehabilitation more effective and motivating, ultimately helping people become more independent in daily life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
mixed reality application (Reach VR on Meta Quest 3)
What this could lead to
If it works, this approach could offer a more engaging, effective way to regain arm and trunk function after a stroke, helping people become more independent in daily activities.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 42 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke survivors. The mixed reality device may cause discomfort or not suit everyone.
