What this study is testing

What it's testing
The goal of this clinical trial is to: (1) implement and test the feasibility of a new VR-ODT intervention offered as part of usual therapy time of patients with a sub-acute stoke; (2) explore the acceptability of the intervention from the perspective of clinicians and patients and; (3) implement measures to optimize the uptake and sustainability of the intervention within the clinical setting.
