研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this research study is to understand the efficacy of using an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) environment, with task-specific training, to encourage arm movement following stroke.
详细描述
The study will investigate how people who have had a stroke use their weakened arm in everyday tasks, and how this relates to measurements of movement ability from standardized clinic tests. Results of this research will ultimately help develop more effective training approaches to be used with stroke survivors.
