ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how virtual reality (VR) can help patients who have had a stroke improve their recovery. The idea is that not only can doing movements help, but even imagining those movements can promote healing in the brain. The researchers are currently looking for participants to join the study, which is open to all genders, and they should be between the ages of 65 and 74 or 29 and 219 days post-stroke.

To be eligible, participants must have been diagnosed with a stroke, be able to speak, read, and write in Turkish, and have certain levels of hand function. They also need to have a good score on a simple mental test to ensure they can understand the study. However, people with other serious neurological or orthopedic issues, those who experience severe motion sickness, or individuals who ignore the affected side of their body cannot participate. If you join the trial, you can expect to engage with virtual reality exercises that may help improve your motor skills and overall recovery.
