Summary

This study tests a new virtual reality system that uses motion-tracking games to help stroke survivors improve arm and hand function. 56 people who had a stroke within the last 2 to 6 months will either get this VR therapy or standard rehab for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure arm movement and brain activity to see if the VR approach works better.
