No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to provide preliminary evidence of whether telerehabilitation targeting arm movement, when added to usual care, improves arm function and reduces global disability after stroke, compared to usual care alone in Brazil. Evaluate the safety and feasibility of telerehabilitation in the Brazilian context. Explore the clinical, neuroimaging, neurophysiological, and economic factors that influence telerehabilitation efficacy in functional recovery following stroke.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Telerehabilitation

Participants will receive 36 telerehabilitation sessions targeting arm motor function in addition to their usual care. TR consists of 70 minutes/day of activities targeting arm function, 6 days/week for 6 weeks. Half of these sessions are supervised by a licensed therapist, and the other half are done independently.

OTHER

Usual Care

Usual care rehabilitation refers to the recommendations made by their care team.
