• Registration Number: NCT07139379
• Lead Sponsor: National Cheng-Kung University Hospital

Brief Summary

In the proposed study, the investigators assumed that Virtual Reality-Based Generative Bimanual Cooperative Task-Oriented Therapy (VRMCTOMT) will provide a better treatment effects than traditional virtual reality mirror therapy (VRMT) for the patients with unilateral stroke. The aim of the study is to examine the difference in the treatment effects among the combination of task-oriented training with either VRMCTOMT, or VRMT on the upper extremity function and brain activity of the stroke patients.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in the result of Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) for motor function of upper extremity test	baseline, 9 weeks and 21 weeks	Each item is rated on a three-point ordinal scale (2 points for the detail being performed completely, 1 point for the detail being performed partially, and 0 for the detail not being performed). The maximum motor performance score is 66 points for the upper extremity.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in the result of Modified Ashworth scale (MAS)	baseline, 9 weeks and 21 weeks	Muscle tone is defined by the resistance of a muscle being stretched without resistance.
