Can an augmented reality app match physical therapy for stroke rehab?
NCT ID NCT06516120
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how well an augmented reality app (Rehabilitation Gaming System) can mimic standard therapy exercises for arm movement after a stroke. 28 people (16 healthy older adults and 12 stroke survivors) performed both therapy exercises and app-based games while wearing motion sensors. The goal was to see if the app could provoke similar arm movements, which could support home-based rehabilitation.
