About this trial

Duke University will serve as the clinical research site for the Phase II RCT of the VALOR system, which enables telehealth delivery of evidence-based upper extremity (UE) stroke therapy in a patient's home using immersive VR headset technology for guided practice of activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental ADLs (IADLs). The study compares VALOR Home Exercise Program (HEP) to Usual Care Treatment (UCT) in adults with stroke-related UE impairment.
