Summary

Using the upper extremity rehabilitation program developed by virtual reality would help the recovery upper extremity function in patients with stroke.

Detailed description

This randomized, double-blind, controlled trial included 24 patients with ischemic stroke. The intervention group received 30 min of conventional occupational therapy (OT) and 30 min of the mobile upper extremity rehabilitation program using a smartphone and a tablet PC (MoU-Rehab). The controls (n = 12) received conventional OT alone for 1 h per day. Rehabilitation consisted of 10 sessions of therapy, 5 days per week, for 2 weeks. The outcome measures (Fugl-Meyer Assessment of the upper extremity \[FMA-UE\], Brunnstr¨om stage \[B-stage\] for the arm and the hand, manual muscle testing \[MMT\], modified Barthel index \[MBI\], EuroQol-5 Dimension \[EQ-5D\], and Beck Depression Inventory \[BDI\]) were assessed at the beginning and end of treatment, and at 1 month. User satisfaction was evaluated by a qestionnaire.
