Effect of VR Versus CT in Sensorimotor Function of Upper Extremity in Chronic Stroke Patients
Sponsor: Superior University
Summary
Virtual reality (VR) therapy has shown promising results in improving sensorimotor function of the upper extremity in chronic stroke patients compared to conservative treatments. VR offers immersive, interactive environments that can enhance motivation and engagement in rehabilitation exercises.

Interventions
Virtual Reality (VR) Therapy
Intervention: Patients in this group will receive therapy using VR technology. This involves engaging in various sensorimotor training exercises and tasks in an immersive virtual environment. The VR sessions are designed to be interactive and adaptive, providing real-time feedback to the user. The exercises will target the improvement of motor functions, coordination, and strength of the affected upper extremity. Duration and Frequency: The specific regimen may involve sessions several times a week, with each session lasting between 30 to 60 minutes, over a period of several weeks or months, depending on the study design.
Conservative Treatment
Intervention: Patients in this group will receive traditional rehabilitation therapies, which may include: Physical Therapy (PT): Exercises and activities aimed at improving strength, flexibility, and coordination of the upper limb. Occupational Therapy (OT): Functional task training to enhance daily living skills and independence, focusing on the use of the upper extremity. Manual Therapy: Techniques such as massage or joint manipulation to improve mobility and reduce pain. Home Exercise Programs: Prescribed exercises to be performed at home to reinforce therapy sessions. Duration and Frequency: Similar to the VR group, this regimen may involve regular sessions several times a week, with each session lasting between 30 to 60 minutes, over a comparable period.
