Feasibility and Reliability of Using BeCureTM Virtual Reality in Patients With Stroke

Feasibility and Reliability of Using BeCureTM Virtual Reality in the Evaluation of Upper Extremity Motor Functions in Patients With Stroke

About This Trial

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility and reliability of using virtual reality-based BeCureTM in the assessment of upper extremity motor functions in stroke patients.It is necessary to define the appropriate patient profile for the evaluation of upper extremity motor functions in stroke patients with virtual reality method. We aimed to examine the effects of demographic characteristics, accompanying cognitive disorders and upper extremity motor disorders that may affect the evaluation and response to treatment on virtual reality applications. Therefore, BeCure TM virtual reality system can be feasibly used in the evaluation and rehabilitation of stroke patients.

Feasibility and reliability of using BeCureTM Virtual Reality in the evaluation of upper extremity motor functions in stroke patients

The applicability and reliability of virtual reality systems are important factors to consider. Based on this, this study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using BeCureTM virtual reality in the evaluation of upper extremity functions after stroke.The feasibility of using BeCureTM virtual reality in stroke patients will be determined according to the System Usability Scale (SUS) score.The safety of the use of BeCureTM virtual reality in stroke patients will be assessed with a patient feedback questionnaire. The relationship between the use of BeCureTM virtual reality and cognitive functions in stroke patients will be determined by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale and Mini Mental State Examination.It was aimed to examine the effects of demographic characteristics, accompanying cognitive disorders and upper extremity motor disorders that may affect the evaluation and response to treatment on virtual reality applications.
