Summary

Telerehabilitation is a promising alternative approach that can help improve access to rehabilitation services once patients are discharged home after stroke. The investigators therefore postulate a non-inferiority hypothesis of the telerehabilitation approach compared to home visits to improve balance problem related to stroke. The platform used will be based on a technological infrastructure that was developed and tested in previous telerehabilitation studies. The study is a randomized control trial (RCT).The study population of interest will target individuals who have had a stroke who stayed in a hospital or chronic stroke population. Participants will be recruited during the hospitalization period at each of the three sites or in the community. The investigators expect to recruit 240 participants, 120 per group. The first evaluation will be conducted at recruitment to establish the baseline measures. The two other evaluations will be conducted 2 months (T2) and four months (T3) following recruitment.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Tai Chi based exercise program

A Tai Chi based exercise program that uses movement repetition favoring directional adjustments in space, supervised by a physiotherapist, has been shown to be effective in improving balance in individuals with physical impairments, including those presenting with sequelae following a stroke.
