ClinConnect Summary

The clinical trial titled "Augmented Reality-based Telerehabilitation Platform for Patients With Stroke" is exploring a new way to help stroke patients recover using augmented reality (AR) technology. This study aims to see if using an AR program can effectively assist in rehabilitation and if it can be assessed using a specific test called the Fugl-Meyer Assessment for the upper body. The trial is not yet recruiting participants.

To be considered for this study, participants need to be at least 18 years old, have had a stroke at least three months prior, and have some difficulties using their arm or hand, as measured by a specific scoring system. They should also be able to use the AR device on their own or with some help and be comfortable following instructions in English. However, people with certain conditions, such as significant vision problems or specific medical devices like pacemakers, cannot participate. If eligible, participants can expect to engage with innovative technology designed to support their recovery journey in a unique way.
