Summary

This study tests whether a new rehab program using virtual reality and action observation can improve recovery after wrist or hand injuries that require a cast or splint. 28 adults will either get standard rehab or also watch first-person videos of hand movements through a VR headset and then practice those movements. The goal is to see if this early brain-training approach reduces pain, stiffness, and disability.
