Development and Validation of a Novel Virtual Reality Software for Improving Disability and Quality of Life in Patients With Stroke
The goal os this clinical trial is to develop and validate a gamified, fully immersive, and stroke-specific virtual reality software to improve physical disability and quality of life in patients with stroke.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* To assess the effects of a gamified, fully immersive and stroke-specific virtual reality 10-week intervention combined with usual care rehabilitation, compared to usual care rehabilitation alone and in combination with a commercially available VR system, on disability in patients with stroke. * To assess the effects of a gamified, fully immersive and stroke-specific virtual reality intervention combined with usual care rehabilitation, compared to usual care rehabilitation alone and in combination with a commercially available virtual reality system, on quality of life, upper-body motor function, gross manual dexterity, handgrip strength, static and dynamic balance, and cognitive function in patients with stroke
Inclusion: Women and men with either an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke; Stroke between the last 7 to 14 days; Functional independence before stroke (modified Rankin scale <3); Paresis of the lower extremity, upper extremity, or both, with a score ≤3 on the "motor arm" item of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scale; Trunk control in seated and standing position; Ability to understand basic instructions and to decide whether to sign informed consent.
Exclusion: Cognitive impairment that precludes cooperation with tasks; Serious behavioral problems or mental disorders; Lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, quadriplegia, neurodegenerative diseases, lower limb fractures, or recent myocardial infarction; Vital organ (heart, lung, liver, kidney, etc.) failure, malignant tumor, or other unstable condition; A history of cerebrovascular disease (if not fully resolved); Photosensitive epilepsy; Moderate-severe aphasia that precludes understanding the required tasks.
