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

Project Abstract

Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide, often resulting in motor impairments that require intensive rehabilitation. Virtual reality (VR) technology has emerged as a promising tool in the field of medical rehabilitation, offering interactive and engaging platforms for therapy. This research project aims to develop a Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation Program specifically designed to assist stroke patients in their recovery journey. The program will utilize immersive VR environments and interactive exercises tailored to improve motor function, coordination, and overall quality of life for stroke survivors.
