Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Virtual Reality (VR) is an emerging neurorehabilitation tool.
  • The feasibility of VR-guided therapy during the acute phase post-stroke remains under-assessed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of VR-guided therapy in the acute phase after stroke.
  • To characterize eligible patients, resource utilization, and treatment acceptance.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort study of 172 acute stroke patients admitted between March and May 2022.
  • Assessed feasibility through patient characteristics, treatment barriers, and VR session metrics.
  • Included patients with upper extremity deficits eligible for physical or occupational therapy.

Main Results:

  • 37 (21.5%) patients received VR-guided therapy.
  • Common barriers included neuropsychological (22.9%) and physical limitations (17.8%).
  • VR therapy patients showed better functional status; motivation was rated higher (76%), and therapists found it feasible (65%).

Conclusions:

  • VR offers potential for enhancing acute stroke recovery in select patients.
  • Identified treatment barriers need addressing for wider implementation.
  • Further randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm effectiveness in the acute setting.
