Project Abstract

Abstract
Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide, often resulting in physical impairments that require extensive rehabilitation to improve functional outcomes. Traditional rehabilitation methods can be time-consuming, costly, and may not always provide engaging and personalized interventions. In recent years, virtual reality (VR) technology has emerged as a promising tool for enhancing stroke rehabilitation by providing interactive and immersive experiences that can motivate and engage patients in their therapy. This research project aims to develop a Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation Program specifically tailored for stroke patients, with the goal of improving their motor function, balance, and overall quality of life.

By providing a stimulating and interactive environment, this program aims to improve motor function, balance, and overall quality of life for stroke survivors. The findings from this research project contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting the use of virtual reality technology in healthcare and rehabilitation settings. Further research and implementation efforts are needed to fully realize the benefits of virtual reality-based interventions for stroke patients.
