Early VR-Based Rehab for the Arm After Acute Ischemic Stroke

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study compares a VR motion-sensing rehabilitation app started within 24 hours of acute ischemic stroke with traditional bedside rehabilitation. It enrolls 100 participants (50 per group) at Tri-Service General Hospital and follows them for about one year. Outcomes include upper limb muscle strength, cognitive status, hospital anxiety, and exercise self-efficacy. The study uses randomization to experimental and control groups to assess the added value of early VR rehabilitation in acute care settings.
