Summary
This study looked at whether virtual reality (VR) games could be a useful tool for arm and hand rehabilitation in people with tetraplegia (paralysis of all four limbs) due to a spinal cord injury. Twelve adults from a spinal injuries unit took part. Some received standard therapy plus VR games designed with input from patients and specialists, while others received only standard therapy. The main goal was to see if using VR was practical and acceptable, not to prove it works. Researchers measured how often participants used the VR, how long they played, and gathered feedback through interviews and questionnaires.
