Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal participants are adults diagnosed with stroke (whether or not they have used advanced rehabilitation technologies), physicians specialized in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine who treat stroke patients, and allied health professionals involved in post-stroke rehabilitation.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who refuse participation, who do not wish to use advanced rehabilitation technologies, or who are medically unable to consent or attend the hospital visit are unlikely to benefit from the survey.

What this trial studies
This observational survey at HCL - Renée Sabran Hospital uses a structured, author-developed questionnaire administered once to three groups: post-stroke patients, physicians in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, and allied health professionals. Participants are recruited using non-probability sampling based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria and must provide informed consent. The questionnaire measures attitudes, perceived usefulness, ease of use, and intention to adopt technologies such as exoskeletons, social robots, wearable interactive devices, and biofeedback systems. Results will identify perceived barriers and facilitators to adopting advanced neurorehabilitation technologies in this clinical setting.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could highlight practical barriers and enablers to technology use that help guide training, procurement, and implementation to increase patient access to helpful rehab tools.
How similar studies have gone: Previous survey-based research has reported mixed acceptance of rehabilitation technologies, so this single-center study provides additional local data on patient and staff perceptions rather than testing a new device.
