- Brief Summary
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.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Simulator sickness questionnaire After each session up to 5 weeks An evaluation tool for assessing the subjective severity of simulator sickness symptoms. A 16-item questionnaire evaluating different symptoms on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (severe).
Feasibility survey After each session up to 5 weeks The User Satisfaction Evaluation Questionnaire (USEQ) is a 14-item questionnaire evaluating satisfaction on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 5 (severely).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method NIHSS Hospital discharge, an average of 7 days NIHSS is a standardized method that uses a 42-point scale to measure the level of impairment caused by a stroke. The 42-point scale measures several aspects of brain function, including consciousness, vision, sensation, movement, speech, and language (0 = no stroke and 42 = severe stroke).
Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Hospital discharge, an average of 7 days The mRS incorporates mental as well as physical adaptations to the neurological deficits. It measures independence rather than performance of specific tasks. The mRS includes 15 items and takes approximately six minutes to complete. Scales consists of seven grades, from zero to six, with zero corresponding to no symptoms and six corresponding to death.
Duration of sessions After each session up to 1 week Actual time spent using the Virtual Reality (VR) system
Time spent by therapist After each session up to 1 week Time spent by therapist assisting patient including set-up.
Adverse events After each session up to 5 weeks Frequency of adverse events such as dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, headache, falls, fatigue, or other symptoms prompting program termination prior to end of a single 20-minute session
