Evaluating the Effectiveness of Immersive Virtual Reality Rehabilitation Games With Enhanced Visual Training for Hand Motor Function Improvement Using Electromyography: Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hand motor dysfunction greatly reduces the performance of stroke survivors. This affects their ability to perform hand motor tasks effectively. Patients receive slow interventions due to interventional limitations in stroke rehabilitation, which can pose challenges for sustaining enduring improvements. We developed immersive virtual reality (VR) games that used an innovative approach to cognitive engagement within visual training feedback for achieving long-lasting improvements.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fully immersive VR-based hand games compared with conventional physical therapy and to assess the correlations between electromyographic data and clinical outcome measures for improving hand motor function in patients with subacut
