Overview
Brief Summary
Virtual reality training is one of the advanced form of rehabilitation. Immersion into unrealistic environment provides various sensory feedback. The synapse VR application designed to improve hand motor function among hemiparetic patients. The activities are believed to facilitate the hand motor function.
Hemiparetic subjects will be recruited based upon inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly allocated into two groups. Informed consent will be obtained. participants are assigned and evaluated for the outcome measures. Group A receives Immersive virtual reality intervention and group B receives conventional rehabilitation exercise program for 6 weeks and follow up measures were taken after 12 weeks.
