No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The specific study aims will be:

1. To design and develop the hardware and software of the VR+MT and MR+MT systems.
2. To test the feasibility of the VR+MT and MR+MT systems from the patients and to collect the feedback of users with respect to their experiences.
3. To examine the treatment effects of VR+MT and MR+MT compared to the traditional MT (i.e., control group) in patients with stroke by conducting a randomized controlled trial.
4. To identify who will be the possible good responders to VR+MT and MR+MT based on their baseline motor functions and mental imagery abilities.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Virtual Reality-based Mirror Therapy (VR+MT)

In this VR+MT group, the patients will be instructed to perform the unilateral movements of the non-affected upper limb simultaneously while observing the animated hand as mirroring reflection of the affected hand within the immersive environment, which presented on the goggle via the VR+MT system.

BEHAVIORAL

Mixed Reality-based Mirror Therapy (MR+MT)

In the MR+MT group, the patients will be instructed to perform the unilateral movements of the non-affected upper limb concurrently meanwhile watching the real-time mirroring image reflection of the non-affected upper limb's movements of the patients captured, transformed, and superimposed on the affected upper limb, which projected to the screen from the front side via the MR+MT system.

BEHAVIORAL

Traditional Mirror Therapy (MT)

In the traditional MT group, patients will be instructed to perform the unilateral movements of the non-affected upper limb at the same time while watching the mirror of a mirror box placed in front of the patient's midsagittal plane, in which the illusory reflection of the non-affected upper limb appears as if it were the another affected upper limb.
