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 whether virtual reality rehabilitation—using a VR headset with interactive games designed to help you move your arm and hand—can improve recovery after a first stroke. Researchers want to see if this approach works better than standard rehabilitation alone, and whether patients find it helpful and easy to use. The trial will include both hospital-based therapy and home-based therapy.
Many stroke patients struggle to regain full movement in their arms and hands, and traditional rehabilitation can be limited, especially in rural areas where therapy resources are scarce. This trial explores whether the new treatment could offer a practical, engaging way to help more stroke patients recover better and access therapy from home.

If you join this trial, you will either receive standard stroke rehabilitation care or standard care plus virtual reality therapy sessions. In the hospital program, you'll complete VR exercises using a headset during your inpatient stay; in the home program, you'll do the same after you've been discharged home. Either way, you'll complete assessments of your arm movement and quality of life at several time points, and you'll share feedback about your experience with the VR system, including how easy it was to use and how you felt using it.
