Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include individuals who have experienced their first ischaemic or hemorrhagic stroke and have one-sided hemiparesis with adequate cognitive abilities.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe cognitive impairment, aphasia, or other significant neurological or orthopedic conditions may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study investigates how stroke patients perceive the usability and feasibility of the RehAtt™ mixed-reality system during rehabilitation focused on upper limb, gait, and balance functions. By utilizing immersive technology, the study aims to integrate virtual objects into real-world scenarios to enhance both physical and cognitive rehabilitation. Patient perspectives are gathered through semi-structured interviews to assess their experiences and feedback on the system.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could lead to improved rehabilitation outcomes for stroke patients through enhanced engagement and effectiveness of therapy.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of mixed reality in rehabilitation is an emerging field, similar studies have shown promising results in enhancing patient engagement and outcomes.
