Virtual reality boosts hand injury rehab in new trial

This study tests whether adding virtual reality (VR) exercises to standard physical therapy can improve hand function, reduce pain, and speed recovery in adults with traumatic wrist or hand injuries. About 40 participants will receive either usual rehab alone or usual rehab plus a six-week VR program where they watch and practice hand movements. Researchers will measure grip strength, range of motion, and daily function to see if VR makes a difference.
