The efficacy, engagement, comfort and adverse events when using a VR headset with Ulysses software were evaluated in an independent, TGA registered¹ clinical trial conducted by qualified occupational therapists and physiotherapists at the University of Newcastle Research Centre in Tamworth, New South Wales, Australia.
Five participants completed a total of 15 sessions each using the Ulysses system over the course of the 5-week study.
The study’s primary objective was functional performance of the upper limb. Pre and post assessments were performed to measure each participant’s functional improvement using the Motor Assessment Scale and Fugl Meyer Scale.
Secondary outcomes related to the participant’s level of engagement, comfortability and motivation to continue using the system were collected in an exit survey at the conclusion of the trial.
