Condition: Stroke Acute · Sponsor: Nova Scotia Health Authority
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether a low-cost virtual reality (VR) motor rehabilitation platform can improve motor recovery in people recovering from a first-time ischemic stroke both in the hospital and at home. The study focuses on adults aged 18 and older who have experienced moderate to severe upper limb motor deficits. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can VR-based motor therapy improve upper limb motor function compared to standard care? * Is VR-based motor therapy a feasible and acceptable treatment option for stroke patients? Researchers will compare patients receiving VR therapy to those receiving standard care to see if the VR therapy leads to greater improvements in motor recovery and more positive patient experiences. Participants will: * Complete standardized assessments of motor function and quality of life at multiple time points. * Participate in VR therapy sessions (if in the treatment group), using gamified activities designed to improve upper limb movement. * Provide feedback on their experience with the VR system, including ease of use, motion sickness, and engagement. This study will help determine whether VR-based rehabilitation can be a practical, effective way to improve access to therapy and recovery outcomes for stroke patients, especially in rural settings with limited rehabilitation resources.
