ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2019

42 participants

Abstract

Virtual Reality allows the integration of both cognitive and motor rehabilitation in a more ecologically valid context. The purpose of this study is to determine whether this methodology has more impact on stroke rehabilitation than a paper and pencil personalised program and conventional therapy, which is motor-focused.

Conditions: Stroke.

Primary outcome: Change from baseline in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.

Enrollment: 42 participants.
