Effect of Immersive Virtual Reality Cognitive Rehabilitation on Subacute Stroke Patients (A Pilot Study)
Sponsor: Universitas Padjadjaran
Summary
This pilot randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation using an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) system compared to conventional paper-and-pencil cognitive training in subacute stroke patients. A total of 22 participants will be randomly assigned to either the VR intervention group (n=11) or the conventional control group (n=11). The study will measure changes in cognitive function and functional independence

Interventions
Immersive Virtual Reality System
Intervention Description: Treatment Method: Participants will wear a fully immersive VR headset to engage in interactive, gamified virtual environments specifically designed to stimulate cognitive domains (memory, attention, visuospatial, and executive functions). Duration \& Frequency: Each VR session will last for \[30 to 45 minutes\]. The treatment will be administered at a frequency of \[3 sessions per week\] for a total duration of \[8 consecutive weeks\]. Standard Care: This intervention is provided in addition to the hospital's standard conventional stroke rehabilitation program (e.g., standard physical therapy).
Conventional Paper-and-Pencil Cognitive Training
Intervention Description: Treatment Method: Participants will perform standardized paper-and-pencil tasks, puzzles, and therapeutic worksheets guided by a therapist, targeting identical cognitive domains (memory, attention, visuospatial, and executive functions) as the experimental group. Duration \& Frequency: Each conventional session will last for \[30 to 45 minutes\] to match the experimental arm. The treatment will be administered at a frequency of \[3 sessions per week\] for a total duration of \[8 consecutive weeks\]. Standard Care: This intervention is provided in addition to the hospital's standard conventional stroke rehabilitation program.
