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 trial is testing a treatment called Virtual Reality Mirror Therapy with Focused Object-Directed Attention (VRMTFOA) to help people who have had a stroke regain movement and function in their affected arm and hand. The researchers want to see if adding focused attention tasks and auditory feedback to virtual reality mirror therapy produces better results than the standard virtual reality approach. The study will compare three different versions of the therapy in a single session to measure their immediate effects.
After a stroke, many people struggle to regain full use of their affected arm and hand. This treatment aims to harness the brain's ability to learn through mirrored movements and focused attention to improve recovery in ways that standard therapy alone may not achieve.

You would attend a single session lasting about 50 minutes total. During this visit, you would receive 30 minutes of virtual reality mirror therapy—either the standard version or one of the enhanced versions with focused attention and/or sound feedback—followed by 20 minutes of conventional arm and hand exercises. The therapists will monitor your arm function and may use brain imaging to see how your brain responds to the treatment.
