Clinical Trial Summary

this thesis endeavors to shed light on the efficacy of VR-based sword-fighting exercises as a rehabilitation tool for improving upper body movement in hemiplegic patients.


Description:

By amalgamating clinical insights, technological advancements, and theoretical frameworks, this research aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge in neurorehabilitation and pave the way for innovative, effective, and engaging interventions to enhance the lives of individuals affected by hemiplegia.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Fugl-Meyer Assessment of upper limb (FMA) This measures upper limb impairment and scores from 0 to 66, the higher the score, the less the impairment. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) is a stroke-specific, performance-based impairment index. It is designed to assess motor functioning, balance, sensation, and joint functioning in patients with post-stroke hemiplegia. 12 Months
Primary Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) This measures arm and hand function and ranges from 0 to 57, the higher the score, the better the upper limb function. The ARAT is a 19-item measure divided into 4 sub-tests (grasp, grip, pinch, and gross arm movement). Performance on each item is rated on a 4-point 12 months
