Additional VR-based training improves upper extremity functions in subacute stroke patients: a single-blinded pairwise-matched trial
As hypothesized, an additional immersive VR-based training can be beneficial for stroke patients suffering from upper extremity deficiency. Nevertheless, the principle of specificity could be observed, with only trained functions being associated with improvements on FME and FIM. Future studies with larger sample of participants are required to confirm these findings.
