360 ° immersive virtual reality-based mirror therapy for upper extremity function and satisfaction among stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial

CONCLUSIONS: 360MT appears to be a promising approach for upper extremity rehabilitation in stroke patients, providing better outcomes and higher patient satisfaction. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings and strengthen the evidence base for 360MT in stroke rehabilitation.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: 360MT demonstrated notably enhanced upper extremity rehabilitation outcomes as well as better patient satisfaction among chronic stroke patients within six months of onset compared to traditional MT and conventional physical therapy. This novel approach not only fostered functional improvements but also elevated levels of engagement and motivation among participants, suggesting a promising future application in stroke rehabilitation framework.PMID:38483333 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08275-3
