Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of virtual reality based mirror therapy (VMT) on individuals with acquired brain injury when compared to a control group receiving traditional mirror therapy (TMT). This is a randomized controlled pilot study in which patients with hemiplegia will be assigned to VMT or TMT and the impact on upper extremity function will be observed.

Experimental Group
EXPERIMENTALPatients receiving Virtual Reality Mirror Therapy
Control Group
EXPERIMENTALPatients receiving Traditional Mirror Therapy
Interventions
Virtual Reality Mirror Therapy system using occulus rift as virtual headset and kinect as motion tracking sensor.
Traditional Mirror Therapy system consisting of a mirror in which patients view their healthy limb over the affected to trick brain during dual motion tasks. This therapy has been shown to improve upper extremity function in patients with acquired brain injury.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- diagnosis of stroke or brain injury, including ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes, confirmed by radio logical evidence and evidence suggesting injury primarily to one side and exhibited by hemiplegia
- their post injury time is between 2 weeks and 2 years
- patients are between the age of 16 and 65 years old
You may not qualify if:
- greater than stage 4 on the CMSA
- behavioral impairments that may prevent safe or consistent participation
