Overview
Virtual reality applications in hemiplegia rehabilitation are gaining popularity. It is claimed that, apart from implementing a function, imagining that function can trigger synaptic connections.
Description
Although the effects of non-three-dimensional virtual reality and motor imagination on the brain have been investigated in a study, such comparison has not been made between the three-dimensional virtual reality and motor imagery.
Considering these situations, the aim of this study is to compare the effect of three-dimensional (immersive) virtual reality and motor imagery on upper extremity functional recovery after stroke.
