Telerehabilitation for stroke recovery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the safety and feasibility of a telerehabilitation program designed for patients recovering from a recent stroke. Participants will engage in daily rehabilitation sessions using a sensor-based training system called HandyMotion, which allows them to access therapy exercises and games directly from their hospital room. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of this approach in improving arm function and overall motor outcomes during the inpatient rehabilitation period.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age 18 years or older
2. Stroke that is radiologically verified, due to ischemia or to intracerebral hemorrhage, and with time of stroke onset \<30 days prior to enrollment; or traumatic brain injury.
3. Unilateral arm motor deficits that are neither trivial (no arm weakness) or devastating (arm plegia). This requires that the baseline Box \& Block Test score with affected arm to be at least 1 block in 60 seconds but no more than 90% of the number of blocks with the good arm.
4. Possess enough arm movement to participate in therapy
5. Informed consent signed by the subject
6. Able to follow simple instructions
7. Study participation is not likely to be significantly limited by agitated behavior

Exclusion Criteria:

1. A major, active, coexistent neurological or psychiatric disease that would limit study participation, e.g., advanced dementia
2. Expectation that patient's cognitive status will likely interfere substantially with playing assigned games or exercises
3. Deficits in communication that interfere with reasonable study participation
4. Lacking visual acuity, with or without corrective lens, of 20/50 or better in at least one eye
5. Subject does not speak sufficient English to comply with study procedures
6. Shoulder pain that in the judgement of the study team is likely to substantially limit the amount of telerehabilitation therapy completed
