Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This was a randomized, single-blinded study, conducted at a single acute rehabilitation unit in a university hospital. In this study, the effect of augmented and virtual reality-based rehabilitation for the recovery of subacute stroke patients compared with conventional occupational therapy was evaluated.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

A randomized, single-blinded study. Individuals were randomly assigned to either the experimental group or control group using a computer-generated randomization technique. The randomization list was created on blocks of four and generated at the start of the study using a computerized program.

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Investigators Outcome Assessors

The researcher responsible for randomization was independent from the assessors, assuring blindness to treatment allocation and randomization procedures. The blinded assessor performed the baseline and post-treatment assessments. The patients and the occupational therapists were not blinded due to the nature of treatment modality.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Augmented reality and virtual reality rehabilitation

This group underwent augmented reality and virtual reality rehabilitation for 60 minutes per session, 5 days per week for 2 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Augmented reality and virtual reality rehabilitation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This group underwent augmented reality and virtual reality rehabilitation with 4 different systems.

The RAPAEL Smart Glove® is a wearable sensory system that contains a single 9-axis movement and position sensor with 3 acceleration channels, 3 angular rate channels, and 3 magnetic field channels that measures wrist movements, and 5 bending sensors that measure finger movements. The RAPAEL Smart Board® is a rehabilitation system used to improve arm function by practicing gravity-compensated movements. The RehabMaster® is a game-based Kinect sensor AR rehabilitation system which uses a 3D camera to digitize patient movements and quickly analyze their range of motion, speed, motion angle, and movement cycles. rehabilitation exercise using games to encourage active arm and trunk movements and promote successful rehabilitation. The COG-Trainer® is a VR system that uses a training device synchronized with the screen through simulation.

Conventional occupational therapy

This group underwent conventional occutational therapy for 60 minutes per session, 5 days per week for 2 weeks.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Conventional occupational therapy

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The group underwent standard ocupational therapy, such as range of motion and strengthening exercises for the affected upper extremity, table-top activities, and training for activities of daily living.
