Treatments tested in this trial

  • Tele-rehabilitation

    Device

    The telerehabilitation treatment group (GT) will receive a similar motor and cognitive treatment program at home using the VRRS HomeKit device (Khymeia, Padua, Italy), another certified Class 1 medical device.

  • Group Presence

    Device

    Patients in the in-person treatment group (GP) will undergo 50-minute sessions, three times a week, for a total of eight weeks using VRRS virtual reality systems (Khymeia, Padua, Italy), certified Class 1 medical devices. The first four weeks of treatment will be conducted with VRRS EVO, while the following four weeks will be conducted with VRRS Physio, with exercises designed to improve various cognitive and motor domains of the upper limb.
