Sponsor's own description

The goal of this clinical trial is to confirm the efficacy and feasibility of early rehabilitation combined with virtual reality training in patients following first-time acute stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* The impact of virtual reality training on muscle strength;
* The impact of virtual reality training on functional recovery;
* The impact of virtual reality training on mood state.

Researchers will compare the experimental group, which received early rehabilitation combined with VR training, and the comparison group, which received only early rehabilitation, to see if VR training has clinical benefits when provided alongside early rehabilitation during hospitalization.
