TLDR
VR and video game applications are novel and potentially useful technologies that can be combined with conventional rehabilitation for upper arm improvement after stroke.Abstract:
Stroke is a serious condition that negatively affects patients and their families. Up to 85 % of stroke patients experience weakness in their arms and/or legs immediately after a stroke. Approximately two out of three stroke survivors continue to experience some level of longer term difficulty in performing daily activities.read more

Quantifying heterogeneity in a meta‐analysis
TL;DR: It is concluded that H and I2, which can usually be calculated for published meta-analyses, are particularly useful summaries of the impact of heterogeneity, and one or both should be presented in publishedMeta-an analyses in preference to the test for heterogeneity.
