Virtual Reality Based Rehabilitation After Ischemic Stroke

Description

Use the template below as a guide to write a brief study description in plain language. Tailor the text that appears in brackets and yellow to your research study. To finalize, delete the text in italics. The goal of this single-arm study is to explore the use of early virtual reality-based rehabilitation as an adjunct to conventional physical/occupational therapy in adult patients with acute ischemic stroke. The main question it aims to answer is: Feasibility and tolerability of using immersive Virtual Reality technology-based therapy for patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke in an inpatient hospital setting Participants will receive 1 or 2 virtual reality therapy sessions and complete surveys at the end of each session.
