This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing two different rehabilitation approaches for people who have had a stroke and lost movement in one arm. You would receive either mirror therapy (where you watch your unaffected arm's reflection to trick your brain into moving the affected arm) or virtual reality therapy (using a headset to perform arm exercises in a digital environment). The study wants to find out which method produces better immediate improvements in arm function and strength.
Many stroke survivors struggle to regain arm and hand function, and current rehabilitation options are limited. This trial aims to understand whether these newer, innovative techniques can help the brain rewire itself and restore movement more effectively than traditional approaches.

If you enroll, you will come in for a single visit lasting about 30 minutes. During that visit, you will be randomly assigned to receive either mirror therapy or virtual reality therapy. With mirror therapy, you'll sit comfortably while performing arm and hand exercises while looking at a mirror that reflects your unaffected arm. With virtual reality therapy, you'll wear a headset and complete interactive arm exercises guided by the system. The entire session is supervised by trained staff to ensure your safety and proper technique.
