Summary

This pilot study aimed to test whether a virtual reality (VR) cooking simulation could improve arm movement and daily function in people with acquired brain injury. Participants would have used VR to practice reaching, grabbing, and stirring motions. However, the trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
