Virtual Reality Therapy for Arm Recovery (VVITA) Stroke

Sponsor: I.R.C.C.S. Fondazione Santa Lucia

Summary

The study exploits new technologies appeared in the consumer electronics market to provide stroke patients with a low-cost, easy-to-use upper limb rehabilitation tool based on virtual reality. It aims to assess the potential, validity and participation in therapy while using virtual reality to improve limb rehabilitation through rehabilitation exercises that will use games chosen to improve the capabilities of the paretic upper limb. This therapy will be administered in addition to normal therapy and will be compared with a control group that will carry out the regular conventional therapy plus a neuromotor therapy dedicated to the upper limb of equal time and dose of interventional therapy.
