Effects of Ecologically Valid VR Task-Oriented Exercises on Post-Stroke Motor and Cognitive Function (RECOVER)
Effectiveness of Virtual Reality-based Task-oriented Exercises in Ecologically Valid Environments on Motor and Cognitive Function in Individuals Post-stroke. A Randomized Controlled Trial
Why is this study being done?
After a stroke, many people have problems with movement, such as walking, balance, and using their arms and hands. They may also experience difficulties with thinking skills, including attention, memory, and problem-solving. These movement and thinking abilities work closely together during everyday activities, such as preparing a meal, shopping, or moving safely through the home.
Traditional rehabilitation often treats movement and thinking problems separately. However, difficulties with attention, planning, and decision-making can affect a person's ability to move safely and learn new motor skills. Because of this, rehabilitation approaches that train both movement and thinking skills at the same time may provide greater benefits.
Virtual reality (VR) technology can create realistic, interactive environments that allow people to practice everyday activities in a safe setting. However, there is limited research on VR programs that simultaneously challenge both movement and thinking skills, and little is known about whether any benefits last over time.
What is the purpose of this study?
The purpose of this study is to compare a virtual reality-based rehabilitation program that combines movement and cognitive training in realistic everyday environments with conventional occupational therapy. The study will evaluate whether the VR program leads to greater improvements in motor function and cognitive function after stroke and whether these improvements are maintained over the long term.

Conventional occupational therapy
|
Each session consists of three components.
The first component includes preparatory activities designed to improve function of the affected upper limb.
The second component focuses on fine motor skill training through exercises targeting reaching, grasping, object manipulation, and movements across the body's midline.
The third component addresses individual motor and cognitive impairments through the practice of Basic Activities of Daily Living and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, as well as structured problem-solving tasks related to everyday situations.

실험적: Experimental
Combined virtual reality-based exercises and conventional occupational therapy
|
Each session consists of three components.
The first component includes preparatory activities designed to improve function of the affected upper limb.
The second component focuses on fine motor skill training through exercises targeting reaching, grasping, object manipulation, and movements across the body's midline.
The third component addresses individual motor and cognitive impairments through the practice of Basic Activities of Daily Living and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, as well as structured problem-solving tasks related to everyday situations.
The intervention consists of interactive video games to train activities of daily living in a customizable digital version of the participant's own kitchen. During training, participants control a sex-matched avatar that reflects their real-time movements. They interact with common kitchen objects while practicing tasks that target both motor abilities, such as balance, posture, and hand-eye coordination, and cognitive abilities, such as attention, memory, planning, and problem-solving. The system can use photographs of the participant's home kitchen to create a familiar and realistic virtual environment. This approach is intended to support the transfer of skills practiced during therapy to the participant's everyday activities at home. |

Change in Berg Balance Scale
기간: From baseline to the end of the intervention and from the end of the intervention to one-month after the intervention
|
Change in the balance of the Berg Balance Scale from baseline to the end of the intervention and from the end of the intervention to follow-up. The Berg Balance Scale is a clinical tool that assesses a person's static and dynamic balance to determine their risk of falling. It is primarily used for older adults and patients with neurological or motor disorders. Score range 0-54 |

Change in Functional Reaches Test
기간: From baseline to the end of the intervention and from the end of the intervention to one-month after the intervention
|
Change in the Functional Reaches Test from baseline to the end of the intervention and from the end of the intervention to follow-up. The Functional Reach Test measures a person's dynamic balance and stability limits while standing. It specifically assesses the maximum distance a patient can reach forward with an outstretched arm without taking a step or losing balance. Score range: NA |

Change in Four Square Step Test
기간: From baseline to the end of the intervention and from the end of the intervention to one-month after the intervention
|
Change in the seconds of the Four Square Step Test from baseline to the end of the intervention and from the end of the intervention to follow-up.
The Four Square Step Test (FSST) is a performance-based assessment that evaluates dynamic balance, mobility, and the ability to change direction while walking.
During the test, participants step as quickly as possible in a specific sequence through four squares formed by low obstacles on the floor, moving forward, backward, and sideways.
The test measures the time required to complete the sequence and assesses balance control, coordination, agility, and the ability to safely negotiate obstacles during movement.
It is commonly used to identify mobility limitations and fall risk in individuals with neurological conditions, including stroke.
