Game on for stroke patients

“New research finds that virtual reality (VR) and other video games could improve stroke patients’ recovery. According to research reported in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association, the games led to significant improvement in arm strength following stroke and could provide an affordable, enjoyable and effective way to intensify treatment. Although the results don’t specify a remote monitoring component, which ultimately would enable stroke survivors to perform such therapy at home while being monitored by clinicians, a move in that direction would likely make sense once the results of more conclusive studies have been analyzed.”
