Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are stroke survivors over 18 years old, more than three months post-stroke, with mild to moderate upper-limb impairment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe cognitive impairments or other conditions that compromise safety or data quality may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of a smartphone application that integrates virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) for at-home rehabilitation of stroke patients. It focuses on providing personalized motor and cognitive training for individuals in the late subacute and chronic phases post-stroke. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the VR/AR intervention or conventional therapy for six weeks, with assessments of motor function, cognitive function, and quality of life at multiple time points. The goal is to validate the PHRASE system's impact on recovery outcomes and its potential as a diagnostic tool.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly enhance recovery outcomes for stroke patients by providing accessible and effective rehabilitation at home.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using VR and AR technologies for rehabilitation, suggesting potential success for this novel approach.
