AdaptRehab imVR: Exploring the Feasibility of imVR for Upper Limb Stroke Rehabilitation in Ethiopia
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Feb 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Stroke is a major cause of long-term disability worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Upper limb impairments following stroke can substantially limit an individual's ability to perform daily activities and engage in community life. Traditional rehabilitation approaches often require high levels of patient engagement and adherence, which can be challenging. Immersive Virtual Reality (imVR) systems offer a promising alternative by enhancing motivation and engagement, thereby supporting upper limb recovery. This study aims to assess the feasibility of the AdaptRehab imVR system in the Ethiopian context, providing valuable insights to guide the design of a future randomized controlled trial.
