Summary
This trial is testing a virtual reality gaming system to help people with weak upper arms from a stroke. Participants will play a video game tailored to their needs several times a week for a few weeks. The study aims to see if this can improve their arm strength and movement. Virtual reality (VR) and gaming-based interventions have been explored for improving upper extremity function poststroke, with studies indicating their potential efficacy and motivational benefits.
