Assessment of an Intensive Motor Telerehabilitation Program for Stroke Patients

This study is testing a new way for stroke survivors to do intensive rehabilitation at home. Many people still have movement problems after a stroke, and getting enough therapy can be hard due to travel or cost. This program uses a device called MindMotion GO, allowing people to do exercises at home for 12 weeks. A therapist will plan and check on their progress remotely. The aim is to see if this home-based program can provide valuable extra rehabilitation alongside usual care, helping people regain more movement and improve their recovery after a stroke.

Stroke

What is this study about?

When someone has a stroke, it can often make it difficult to move parts of their body, especially their arm or leg. While some movement might come back on its own, many people still have challenges months later. To get the best recovery, doing lots of rehabilitation exercises is really important. However, it can be tough for people to get to many therapy sessions after they leave the hospital, perhaps because of how far they live, difficulty with travel, or the cost.

This study is exploring a solution called 'telerehabilitation'. This means using digital technology to provide therapy sessions from a distance, directly in people's homes. Research has shown that this type of therapy can be just as helpful as traditional in-person sessions. Our study focuses on a specific home-based program that uses a movement device called MindMotion GO.

The main goal of this 12-week program is to give people who have had a stroke extra therapy on top of their usual care. Participants will do about 300 minutes of exercise each week, with a therapist guiding and monitoring their progress from afar. This approach hopes to make intensive rehabilitation more accessible and help more people improve their movement and overall recovery after a stroke.

Key takeaways

Provides extra therapy for 12 weeks at home.
May make rehabilitation more accessible.

Who may be eligible?

To join this study, you would need to have had your first stroke (either ischemic or hemorrhagic) more than 30 days ago. You should have some movement difficulties in your arm, though you might also have problems with your leg. You'll need to be able to follow instructions for the home exercise program and be able to sit up without help. At home, you'll need an email address, internet access, a smartphone, a TV or screen with an HDMI port, and a clear space (about 1 meter by 2.5 meters) in front of the screen.

There are also some reasons why you might not be able to join. For example, if you've had a stroke before, have another brain disease, or have uncontrolled epilepsy. Conditions that limit exercise like severe heart problems or pain, or major problems with understanding, memory, or vision that can't be corrected, would also mean you couldn't take part. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or already taking part in another research study, you would also be excluded.

What does participation involve?

If you take part in this study, you'll be on a 12-week home-based rehabilitation program using the MindMotion GO device. This involves doing about 300 minutes of exercises each week. You'll have weekly sessions where you interact with a therapist remotely, and you'll also do some exercises on your own using the device. The therapist will monitor your progress remotely. The study aims to fit into your existing care without needing extra hospital visits or face-to-face appointments. The total duration of your active involvement in the program will be these 12 weeks, with follow-up assessments to see how you're progressing.

Potential risks and benefits

Participating in this study might offer you the benefit of extra, intensive physical rehabilitation at home, which could help improve your movement and recovery after a stroke. Studies suggest that telerehabilitation can be as effective as clinic-based therapy and could overcome barriers to accessing care. Potential risks are generally low, mainly related to any discomfort from exercise, similar to traditional rehabilitation. There are no new medications involved. You are free to withdraw from the study at any time and for any reason, without it affecting your usual medical care.
