The Wolf motor function test (WMFT) was used to assess the motor function of the affected upper limb functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to measure the cortical activation. Twenty-six subacute stroke patients were assigned to an experimental group that received virtual reality training along with conventional occupational rehabilitation, and a control group that only received conventional rehabilitation. Therefore, the present study explored the effects of a Leap Motion-based virtual reality system on subacute stroke. The recently developed Leap Motion controller can track the fine movements of both hands and fingers. Nevertheless, the functional recovery of an affected hand is most difficult in the case of hemiparesis rehabilitation after a stroke.
Most virtual reality systems are only applicable to the proximal upper limbs (arms) because of the limitations of their capture systems. Most virtual reality studies have involved chronic stroke patients however, brain plasticity remains good in acute and subacute patients. Virtual reality is nowadays used to facilitate motor recovery in stroke patients.
