Stephan Keller suffered a stroke that paralyzed the right side of his body. His doctor told him he needed physical therapy, but Stephan wanted to heal faster so he could return to work to support his family. He opted to try virtual reality therapy instead. After just a few treatments, Stephan started regaining movement in his fingers and limbs. Within a few months of regular virtual reality sessions, he had fully recovered the use of his right side and was able to return to work. Virtual reality proved much more effective for Stephan than traditional physical therapy would have been.
