Comparing the Effectiveness of Traditional Physiotherapy Combined With Virtual Reality for Post-Stroke Patients
Sponsor: Superior University
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining virtual reality (VR) therapy with traditional physiotherapy in post-stroke rehabilitation. Post-stroke patients often suffer from impairments in motor function, balance, and overall quality of life. While traditional physiotherapy is a widely accepted method for stroke recovery, incorporating VR technology may enhance treatment outcomes by providing an engaging, immersive environment that motivates patients to perform therapeutic movements.
