Early post-stroke rehabilitation for upper limb motor function using virtual reality and exoskeleton: equally efficient in older patients.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Early post-stroke rehabilitation strategies using, in addition to the daily rehabilitation programme, VRT with visual biofeedback is more effective on upper extremity motor performance than conventional physiotherapy, and the effectiveness does not diminish with patient age. This may be a promising addition to conventional physiotherapy in older stroke patients as well as in younger. PMID: 33314016 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
