This trial is testing whether immersive virtual reality-based music therapy can help people recover better after a stroke. Participants will use virtual reality headsets to play rhythm and music-based games while also receiving standard physical therapy. The study aims to see if this combination improves thinking skills, arm and hand movement, balance, and overall stroke recovery compared to physical therapy alone.
Many stroke patients struggle with regaining cognitive function and motor control. This trial exists to explore whether the combination of music, rhythm, and interactive virtual reality can enhance traditional rehabilitation and help patients recover more of their lost abilities.

You will attend sessions 5 days a week for 6 weeks at Istanbul Aydın University VM Medical Park Hospital. Half of participants will receive standard physical therapy only (exercises for strength, balance, and motor skills lasting about 60 minutes per session). The other half will receive the same physical therapy plus two additional sessions per week using a virtual reality headset to play music and rhythm-based games. Before your first virtual reality session, you'll complete a brief questionnaire to check for any dizziness or nausea. Assessments of your cognitive function and movement abilities will be performed at the start and end of the 6-week program.
