About this trial
In the sponsor's words
This study is aimed to test the efficacy and feasibility of an immersive virtual reality (VR) rehabilitation programs to improve upper-limb motor functions in 24 patients with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), characterized by moderate to severe upper-limb motor dysfunctions. In particular, this study will evaluate the efficacy of VR as novel opportunities to increase treatment engagement and rehabilitation effects. The effectiveness of the rehabilitation program will be assessed using both clinical tests and state-of-the art motion capture system for human movement analysis.
