Project Abstract

Abstract
Virtual reality (VR) technology has emerged as a promising tool in the rehabilitation of stroke patients, particularly in enhancing upper limb function. This research project aims to investigate the effectiveness of utilizing VR technology for upper limb rehabilitation in stroke patients. The study will focus on assessing the impact of VR-based interventions on improving motor function, range of motion, and overall functional outcomes in stroke survivors. Chapter one provides an introduction to the research topic, presenting the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure, and definition of terms. Chapter two comprises a comprehensive literature review covering ten key areas related to VR technology in stroke rehabilitation, including its benefits, limitations, and current trends in the field. Chapter three outlines the research methodology, detailing the study design, participant selection criteria, intervention protocols, outcome measures, data collection methods, data analysis techniques, ethical considerations, and limitations of the research methodology. The chapter aims to provide a clear framework for conducting the study and obtaining reliable results. Chapter four presents a detailed discussion of the research findings, including the impact of VR technology on upper limb rehabilitation outcomes in stroke patients. The chapter explores the effectiveness of VR interventions in improving motor function, range of motion, and functional independence in stroke survivors. It also discusses the implications of the findings for clinical practice and future research directions. Chapter five concludes the research project by summarizing the key findings, discussing their implications for stroke rehabilitation practice, highlighting the limitations of the study, and proposing recommendations for future research. The chapter emphasizes the potential of VR technology as a valuable tool for enhancing upper limb rehabilitation outcomes in stroke patients and calls for further research to explore its full potential in clinical settings. In conclusion, this research project aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the use of VR technology for upper limb rehabilitation in stroke patients. By investigating the effectiveness of VR-based interventions and exploring their impact on motor function and functional outcomes, this study seeks to provide valuable insights for healthcare professionals working with stroke survivors and pave the way for the integration of VR technology into mainstream rehabilitation practice.
