Feasibility and Reliability of Using BeCureTM Virtual Reality in Patients With Stroke

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Stroke Patients

In brief

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility and reliability of using virtual reality-based BeCureTM in the assessment of upper extremity motor functions in stroke patients.It is necessary to define the appropriate patient profile for the evaluation of upper extremity motor functions in stroke patients with virtual reality method. We aimed to examine the effects of demographic characteristics, accompanying cognitive disorders and upper extremity motor disorders that may affect the evaluation and response to treatment on virtual reality applications. Therefore, BeCure TM virtual reality system can be feasibly used in the evaluation and rehabilitation of stroke patients.
