NCT05441228

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of virtual reality and mirror therapy in stroke patients. Different studies has been done to find out the best therapy for stroke patients. Use of virtual reality in medical field is becoming more popular now-a-days. Different devices and applications are available to treat various conditions. Research has been done to find the clinical applications of virtual reality for upper limb motor rehabilitation in stroke. in another study, mirror therapy with bilateral arm training was used for hemiplegic upper extremity motor functions in patients with chronic stroke. After doing literature review, it was found that no research has been done to compare the effectiveness of mirror therapy with virtual reality in improving motor function of upper limb of stroke patients. So, In this study these two therapies are compared. For virtual reality Oculus Quest 2 has been used. Patients were allowed to use beat saber game on Oculus.

Study Arms (2)

Group A

EXPERIMENTAL

Group A receives virtual reality through Oculus Quest 2. Beat saber application will be used to improve upper limb's motor function of stroke patients. Total 1 hour session will be provided to each patient for 5 days a week. Total period 4 weeks

Device: Oculus Quest 2

Group B

OTHER

Group B receives mirror therapy through mirror therapy box. Total 1 hour session will be provided to each patient for 5 days a week. Total period 4 weeks
