Brief summary

To investigate the therapeutic effect of including virtual reality-based digital content in the upper limb motor function rehabilitation of stroke patients and to develop a treatment method to improve the upper limb motor function of stroke patients in the future.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALVR-based occupational therapy

All patients will undergo 20 sessions of virtual reality based occupational therapy for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week for 4weeks

Inclusion criteria

1\. Inclusion Criteria for experimental group: 1. Patients aged 19 to 80 years with unilateral stroke within 6 months of stroke onset 2. Motor function evaluation: Patients showing moderate or lower upper limb dysfunction with an upper limb FMA (Fugl-Meyer Assessment) score of less than 58 points on the affected side. 3. Patients receiving or planning to receive exercise rehabilitation treatment 5 days a week 2\. Inclusion Criteria for control group: 1\) Patients who have been admitted to our hospital's rehabilitation medicine department and received rehabilitation treatment within the past 5 years 2) Patients with unilateral stroke within 6 months of stroke onset who are between 19 and 80 years old at the time of hospitalization 3) Patients who were admitted to the rehabilitation medicine department of our hospital and received exercise rehabilitation treatment for 4 weeks, 5 days a week 4) Patients with similar characteristics below compared to the test group * Age: Difference within 5 years * Gait function: Functional Ambulatory Category (FAC) * Upper extremity function: Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) difference within 6 points * Cognitive function: Korean Version of Mini Mental State Examination (K-MMSE) difference within 5 points * Daily living skills: Korean Version of Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI) difference within 10 points 3\.

Exclusion criteria

1. Accompanying existing serious neurogenic disease 2. Cases accompanied by existing serious psychiatric diseases such as major schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, dementia, etc. 3. Cases where it is difficult to understand task performance due to severe cognitive decline (Korean Mini-Mental State Examination, K-MMSE 10 points or less) 4. If there are difficulties in conducting research 5. Other patients who are judged by the principal investigator to have difficulty participating in this study.
