Stroke rehabilitation is a tedious, costly, and labor-intensive process. It requires strict adherence, but ends up being scarcely accessible to some patients due to barriers such as distance, cost, logistics, or background. This creates a need for accessible stroke rehabilitation services that can be delivered equitably to all stroke survivors.
As such, The University of Manitoba partnered up with the StellarX team to develop a Virtual Reality therapy program. Combining VR and tablet training, it aims to make rehabilitation more accessible, while proving VR in healthcare can be a great fit.
