Brief Summary

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

The goal of this study is to learn about the benefits of using a virtual reality gaming system that can be adjusted for a person who has upper arm weakness from stroke. The main question it aims to answer is whether strength and movement in the upper arm be improved by use of the gaming system.

Participants will be asked to complete initial measurements of upper arm function, play a video game for one hour, four times a week for five weeks, and repeat the measurements of upper arm function at the end.

Intervention Type DEVICE

This study aims to combine the motivational delivery of therapy which is an immersive virtual reality with the foundational concepts of mirror therapy. By utilizing a recalibration software, the participant will be able to achieve magnified movements on their screen as compared to the limited movement that is occurring in reality. The recalibration software takes each plane of movement of the gaming controller and magnifies the participant's range of motion in order to promote greater participation and success in the game that they are playing (Walkin VR). By using the fundamental concepts of mirror therapy in an immersive virtual reality setting, the investigators aim to mimic the results of mirror therapy while increasing motivation and adherence to the therapeutic program to increase overall upper extremity function.
