Research summary
There has been plenty of research into the use of virtual reality (VR) in rehabilitation, but this research predominantly focused on physical rehabilitation and not cognitive. We have designed a VR application that could potentially aid in cognitive recovery of stroke patients. This study is designed to gauge whether or not elderly stroke patients would accept a VR application as a rehabilitation tool.
