简要总结
Virtual reality (VR) therapy has shown promising results in improving sensorimotor function of the upper extremity in chronic stroke patients compared to conservative treatments. VR offers immersive, interactive environments that can enhance motivation and engagement in rehabilitation exercises. Studies have indicated that VR can lead to significant improvements in motor function, coordination, and strength of the affected upper limb.
详细描述
These advancements are often attributed to the ability of VR to provide real-time feedback, varied and repetitive tasks, and the stimulation of neuroplasticity. In contrast, conservative treatments, such as traditional physical and occupational therapy, though beneficial, may not offer the same level of stimulation and engagement. Overall, VR therapy can be a valuable adjunct to traditional rehabilitation, potentially accelerating recovery and improving functional outcomes for chronic stroke patients by providing a more dynamic and engaging approach to therapy.

结局指标
主要结局
Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) for Upper Extremity
时间窗: 12 Months
The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) for Upper Extremity is a widely used and validated tool to evaluate motor function, balance, sensation, and joint functioning in individuals who have had a stroke. It specifically assesses the sensorimotor function of the upper extremities.
Stroke Impact Scale (SIS)
时间窗: 12 months
The Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) is a self-report questionnaire that evaluates the impact of stroke on multiple dimensions, including strength, hand function, activities of daily living (ADL), mobility, communication, emotion, memory, thinking, and participation. Scoring: Each item is scored on a scale of 1 to 5: 1: Unable to do 5: Not difficult at all Higher scores indicate a lesser impact of stroke on the patient's life. Usage in the Study: Assessment Schedule: Administered at baseline and at the end of the intervention period. Objective: To assess the overall impact of stroke on the patient's quality of life and participation in daily activities
