Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to test the (a) feasibility, (b) usability, and (c) acceptability of using the Oculus Virtual Reality (VR) for chronic stroke survivors who have mild-moderate cognitive and unilateral arm impairment to administer upper extremity and cognitive rehabilitation, to calculate the change in upper extremity and cognition scores on standardized measurements per standard of care and to qualitatively explore the impact of engaging caregivers in supporting the stroke survivor's rehabilitation and the impact of this engagement on the stroke survivor and caregiver dyad using semi-structured interviews.

Oculus VR

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Oculus VR

Intervention Type DEVICE

During the first visit, the Oculus headset will be placed on the stroke survivor's head and demonstrate how to use the headset. participant will be then allowed to play a game using the hand controllers for up to 30 minutes. Finally, a copy of exercises for their home rehabilitation program will be provided. During the next rehabilitation visits, a trained research assistant will guide the stroke survivor with using the gaming headset. The session will be stopped every 20 minutes to make sure that the stroke survivor is feeling well and to give them a break. The stroke survivor may stop the session at any time. This session will last for an hour.
