Case-control study demonstrates improved paretic arm function in stroke rehabilitation using virtual reality, suggesting a beneficial adjunctive therapy.
Key Points
The virtual reality group showed a greater improvement in motor function scores compared to the control group.
Fugl–Meyer Assessment scores improved significantly in the VR group, indicating effective rehabilitation.
Multivariate regression indicated that VR intervention is a strong predictor of motor improvement in stroke patients.
The findings support the potential for virtual reality to enhance stroke recovery, necessitating further research.
