First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) training in a simulated home environment can improve arm and hand function in people recovering from a stroke. Researchers will compare VR-based task-oriented training to standard therapy in 86 participants. They will also use brain scans to see how the training affects brain activity.
