Virtual Reality in Aphasia Telerehabilitation

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of the immersive 3D HMD VR technology in the language intervention with a home-based telerehabilitation approach for people with aphasia. The assessments will be conducted at the baseline (prior the intervention periods) and after each intervention period (i.e. after the VR-intervention period and the waitlist period).

Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of the present project is to study the effects, feasibility, and the participants' experiences of this novel kind of language intervention. The effects of the intervention will be studied with various outcome measures in terms of language performance, functional communication, and quality of life. The aim is to explore the VR-intervention on the group level and with a randomized waitlist control group design (or delayed crossover design). In this study, the people with aphasia will be practicing at their home with support of their relatives, and participants will also receive regular remote guidance by a speech and language therapist (SLT) during the intervention. The relatives are also involved in the assessment process. ;
