简要总结
The goal of this study is to learn about the benefits of using a virtual reality gaming system that can be adjusted for a person who has upper arm weakness from stroke. The main question it aims to answer is whether strength and movement in the upper arm be improved by use of the gaming system.
Participants will be asked to complete initial measurements of upper arm function, play a video game for one hour, four times a week for five weeks, and repeat the measurements of upper arm function at the end.
