Summary

This study tested whether playing virtual reality games could help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve arm movement. 15 chronic stroke patients with arm weakness participated. They used a head-mounted VR device to do exercises. The goal was to see if this fun, immersive approach could boost motor recovery.
