Summary

This study tested whether using an immersive virtual reality (VR) headset along with practice of everyday arm tasks could improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months earlier. 13 adults with limited arm motion took part. Their arm movement was measured before and after the training using wrist-worn activity trackers.
