VALOR Phase II (Stroke Recovery) - Clinical Trial

What is the Purpose of this Study?

Estamos realizando este estudio para evaluar un programa experimental llamado VALOR. El programa VALOR está diseñado para ayudar a personas en recuperación de un accidente cerebrovascular a recibir terapia para sus brazos en casa utilizando telehealth. Utiliza dispositivos de realidad virtual (VR) y software especiales para guiarlos en actividades y tareas diarias.

El objetivo del programa VALOR es evaluar la efectividad de su terapia para ayudar a las personas a recuperar el movimiento del brazo después de un accidente cerebrovascular y recopilar evidencia sobre la facilidad de uso y el grado de satisfacción de las personas.

We hope that using VALOR for arm exercises at home will:

  • Improve arm movement in adults who have had a stroke
  • Work better than the usual care treatment
  • Be easy to use and well-liked by stroke survivors, with few cases of feeling sick from the technology
What is the Condition Being Studied?

Recuperación tras un accidente cerebrovascular

Adults ages 18+ who:

  • Had a stroke on either the right or left side of the brain that affected their hand function
  • Had their stroke at least 3 months before joining the study
  • Can bend at least one finger enough for a therapist to see
  • Have vision of 20/50 or better with glasses or contacts

What is Involved?

This study will last for approximately 25-weeks. It will involve four study visits, using the VR system to practice activities of daily living, a series of motor function tests, and questionnaires.

If you choose to take part, you will get a random assignment (like a coin flip) to 1 of 2 study groups, which will be to either participate in the VALOR program or follow the standard home exercise plan that is used for stroke recovery.
