About this trial

In the proposed study, the investigators assumed that Virtual Reality-Based Generative Bimanual Cooperative Task-Oriented Therapy (VRMCTOMT) will provide a better treatment effects than traditional virtual reality mirror therapy (VRMT) for the patients with unilateral stroke. The aim of the study is to examine the difference in the treatment effects among the combination of task-oriented training with either VRMCTOMT, or VRMT on the upper extremity function and brain activity of the stroke patients.
