Development of a Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation Program for Stroke Patients

Project Abstract

Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, with survivors often facing challenges in regaining lost motor functions and independence. Traditional rehabilitation methods have shown effectiveness, but there is a growing interest in utilizing virtual reality (VR) technology as a novel approach to enhance stroke rehabilitation outcomes. This research project aims to develop a Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation Program tailored specifically for stroke patients to improve their motor functions, quality of life, and overall recovery process.
