A study from the University of Reading and the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust suggests that virtual reality (VR) can help stroke patients regain arm movement when combined with traditional physiotherapy.
The VR-based therapy provides an immersive environment with real-time visual feedback, making rehabilitation more enjoyable and effective.
In the study, patients who used VR therapy showed significantly better arm movement compared to those who only received traditional physiotherapy.
This research highlights the potential of virtual reality as a powerful tool in stroke rehabilitation, offering stroke survivors a more engaging and effective way to regain movement.
