Effect of Technology Enriched Rehabilitation After Stroke

NCT07360613 · Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 62

Summary

The Biomedical Engineering Dept, University of Strathclyde, co-creates rehabilitation technology. In 2023-2024 a clinical study (NCT06787768) was conducted to understand the feasibility of a multi-technology approach to rehabilitation early after stroke. This was successful and leads to the next phase which is to gather preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of this approach by monitoring change in the mobility of patients who receive this intervention compared with usual care which will be gathered through a data linkage project (tracking the outcomes from matched patients from other parts of Scotland who receive usual care).

Technology Enriched Rehabilitation

The intervention is a rehabilitation programme delivered entirely through technology, including virtual reality (immersed and non-immersed), treadmills, weight suspension and movement resistance, and power assistance equipment located in a gym-like space on an acute stroke unit (NHS Lanarkshire). Individual programs are designed and reviewed by a physiotherapist using principles of intensity, feedback, cognitive engagement, and aerobic activity to address the goals identified by the participant and scores from outcome measures at baseline. Attendance at the gym is supervised and assisted by rehabilitation support workers. Participants can attend daily for 2 hours maximum until discharge, according to their tolerance and judgement of the clinical ward team.
