AB  - Increased intensity of rehabilitation is associated with better motor recovery in stroke patients [Kwakkel G et al. Stroke 1997]. However, the effectiveness of interactive virtual reality gaming (such as that found with the Nintendo Wii system) for stroke rehabilitation remains unclear. This article presents results from the randomized, single-blinded, Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Exercises in Stroke Rehabilitation [EVREST; NCT00692523] study, which investigated this issue.
