Slovenia36 participantsStarted 2024-05-05

Plain-language summary

Post-stroke rehabilitation is essential for maximising the recovery of cognitive function. Virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a promising adjunct to conventional rehabilitation therapy (CRT), with the potential to enhance cognitive performance outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the effects of VR-based rehabilitation compared with CRT on cognitive function and activities of daily living in patients with acute stroke.
