Being comparable would mean that regular stroke survivors will just choose the cheaper and simpler method to rehab.

Abstract: Study evaluated the feasibility of an immersive virtual-reality rehabilitation system that allows stroke survivors to carry out a validated mirror therapy protocol in a clinical setting. Eleven people with upper-limb paresis following first-time stroke received three interventions over a one-week period at an in-patient rehabilitation facility in Berlin, Germany. Participants carried out the mirror therapy protocol using the immersive virtual-reality system as an adjunct therapy to their standard rehabilitation program. Clinical assessments were performed by the therapist before the first intervention and after the last intervention. Intervention outcomes, virtual reality acceptance and user experiences were examined. The results show that the combination of an immersive virtual-reality system and mirror therapy protocol is feasible for clinical use. Nine out the 11 participants showed some improvement of their affected hand after the intervention. Most of the participants (9 of 11) reported experiencing some psycho-physical effects, such as tingling or paresthesia, in the affected limb during the intervention. The findings indicate that immersive virtual-reality-based mirror therapy is feasible and shows effects comparable to those of conventional mirror therapy.
