Combining levodopa and virtual reality-based therapy for the rehabilitation of upper limb after acute stroke: pilot study part II.
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that VR-based therapy and pharmacotherapy may be combined for acute stroke rehabilitation. The bedside acquisition of kinematic measurements allows for an accurate assessment of the quality of limb movement, offering a sensitive clinical tool for quantifying motor recovery during the rehabilitation process after acute stroke.

But few published studies have also emphasized some relationship linking brain morphological signs of ...
