Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing two new computer-based systems — one using virtual reality and one using mixed reality — combined with mirror therapy to help stroke survivors regain arm and hand function. Mirror therapy is a technique where you practice movements while watching a mirror image, which can help retrain your brain after a stroke. The trial will compare these new technology-based approaches with traditional mirror therapy exercises to see which works best.
Many stroke survivors struggle to regain full use of their arms and hands. While mirror therapy has shown promise in rehabilitation, researchers want to see if adding virtual reality or mixed reality technology — which can make exercises more engaging and personalized — might help people recover even better.

In Phase I (the initial testing), you would try both the virtual reality and mixed reality systems with help from a trained therapist and answer questions about your experience. In Phase II (the main study), you would receive 15 training sessions over 5 weeks, with each session lasting about 40 minutes. You would perform arm and hand exercises using one of the three systems — virtual reality, mixed reality, or traditional mirror therapy — and be assessed at the start, right after treatment ends, and one month later to measure your progress.
