First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using an immersive virtual reality (VR) headset along with practice of everyday arm tasks could improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months earlier. 13 adults with limited arm motion took part. Their arm movement was measured before and after the training using wrist-worn activity trackers.
