This clinical study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual reality-based training intervention for improving hand dexterity and promoting neuroplasticity in individuals with Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM) after surgical decompression. Participants completed a 4-week training program using the Virtual Keyboard (VK) system, which facilitated repetitive, individualized finger movements in a virtual environment. Outcomes were measured pre- and post-training to quantify improvements in hand dexterity, quality of life, and cortical motor activity.
