The treatment results of VR therapy with teora mind were compared with those of conventional standard treatment. Standard therapy currently involves abstract exercises on the computer, such as putting the steps to build a snowman in the correct order.<\/p>\n In the study, 42 stroke patients were randomly assigned to two treatment strands: 21 patients received standard therapy, while 21 other patients were treated with teora mind. They received an average of 18.7 treatment sessions of 30-45 minutes each over the 4-6 week period. Subsequently, the changes in the area of cognitive abilities were measured: The VR group achieved significant improvements in executive functions, particularly in the areas of planning and problem solving. No improvements were observed in the control group with standard therapy.
