Project Abstract

Abstract
Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide, often resulting in physical impairments that require extensive rehabilitation to restore functionality and quality of life. Traditional rehabilitation methods can be limited in their effectiveness and motivation for stroke patients. In recent years, virtual reality (VR) technology has emerged as a promising tool for enhancing rehabilitation outcomes by providing engaging and interactive environments for therapeutic interventions. This research project aims to develop a Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation System specifically designed for stroke patients to improve their motor function, cognitive abilities, and overall well-being.

The findings suggest that virtual reality technology can enhance the effectiveness and engagement of rehabilitation interventions, providing a novel approach to stroke recovery. This research contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the integration of virtual reality into clinical practice for stroke rehabilitation. Further research is needed to explore long-term outcomes and scalability of virtual reality-based interventions in diverse clinical settings.
