First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time

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.
