“We're investigating whether game-based rehabilitation can support recovery for people who have reduced movement after a stroke. The approach allows us to measure progress and encourage repeated movement, which is vital for rehabilitation. By combining non-immersive virtual reality technology with gamified exercises, we can make rehabilitation more, motivating, engaging and easier to continue at home. Our early findings show that people enjoy taking part and are motivated to keep practising their exercises at home, enhancing their upper limb function and quality of life and reducing shoulder pain.”
