About this trial
The specific study aims will be:
1. To design and develop the hardware and software of the VR+MT and MR+MT systems. 2. To test the feasibility of the VR+MT and MR+MT systems from the patients and to collect the feedback of users with respect to their experiences. 3. To examine the treatment effects of VR+MT and MR+MT compared to the traditional MT (i.e., control group) in patients with stroke by conducting a randomized controlled trial. 4. To identify who will be the possible good responders to VR+MT and MR+MT based on their baseline motor functions and mental imagery abilities.
