Home-Based Intensive Motor Telerehabilitation Using MindMotion GO for Stroke Patients A 12-Week Program to Enhance Recovery After Stroke

What this Trial Is About

Stroke often causes significant motor disability, especially hemiplegia, with many patients retaining movement difficulties six months after the event. Access to intensive rehabilitation after hospital discharge is often limited due to mobility, geography, and insurance issues. Telerehabilitation using digital tools offers a way to provide interactive, accessible therapy at home, with effectiveness comparable to in-person rehabilitation. This trial aims to evaluate a 12-week home-based telerehabilitation program using the MindMotion GO device, providing extra therapy alongside standard care for stroke patients in sub-acute and chronic stages. Participants will use the MindMotion GO device at home for at least 300 minutes of active therapy weekly during the 12-week program. They will have one weekly live session with a physical or occupational therapist either in clinic or remotely by videoconference, combined with independent sessions guided by a personalized schedule set by a remote therapist. The study compares two groups one starting telerehabilitation immediately after discharge alongside standard care, and another receiving standard care first, then starting telerehabilitation after 12 weeks. Patients may continue the telerehabilitation beyond 12 weeks if they choose. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor participants progress using the Goal Attainment Scale at several timepoints up to 44 weeks. Assessments will include therapy adherence, motor function improvements, and the feasibility of the home-based program. Patients will transition smoothly from hospital to home rehabilitation without extending hospitalization or increasing in-person visits. The total study duration for participants may extend up to 44 weeks to evaluate both short- and longer-term effects.
