Reseachers will compare the virtual reality device plus the usual treatment to usual treatment to see if virtual reality device works to recovery upper limb function. Participants will be able to receive conventional treatment or virtual therapy plus conventional treatment 5 days a week for 4 weeks. When they are discharged, they will come to the hospital 2 times to be reviewed, 3 months and 1 year after receiving treatment.

Prior to virtual therapy experimental group have received kinesitherapy for 15 minutes to improve and prevent muscle spasticity and joint contractures. Therapists recorded the order of the session and they have providen the same external aid to all patients. Two days a week the experimental group have received the conventional treatment for 45 minutes (kinesitherapy, strengthening exercises muscle, trunk control, transfers, standing and walking). In addition to physiotherapy treatment, participants have done occupational therapy 5 days a week (training to perform ADLs, tracking techniques and search, manipulation, reach and grasping of different utensils, etc.), for 30 minutes each session.
