Project Abstract

Abstract
Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide, often resulting in physical and cognitive impairments that require intensive rehabilitation to regain functionality. Traditional rehabilitation methods can be monotonous and challenging for stroke patients, leading to decreased motivation and engagement in the rehabilitation process. Virtual reality (VR) technology has emerged as a promising tool in medical rehabilitation, offering innovative and engaging ways to deliver therapy. This research project aims to develop a Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation System specifically designed for stroke patients to enhance their recovery outcomes.
