- Original description
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and feasibility of providing extra doses of rehabilitation therapy for persons with a recent stroke. The therapy treatment targets to improve arm function by introducing telerehabilitation to the bedside of participants during the inpatient rehab admission period. Participants will use a newly developed functional training system (HandyMotion) to access therapy treatment program directly from their hospital room. HandyMotion is a sensor-based training system that can connect to the TV set in the hospital room, enabling patients to access their therapy training program to practice rehab-oriented games and exercises ad libitum, at any time of the day.Read full original descriptionShow less

Inclusion: Age 18 years or older; Stroke that is radiologically verified, due to ischemia or to intracerebral hemorrhage, and with time of stroke onset <30 days prior to enrollment; or traumatic brain injury; Unilateral arm motor deficits that are neither trivial (no arm weakness) or devastating (arm plegia). This requires that the baseline Box \& Block Test score with affected arm to be at least 1 block in 60 seconds but no more than 90% of the number of blocks with the good arm; Possess enough arm movement to participate in therapy; Informed consent signed by the subject; Able to follow simple instructions; Study participation is not likely to be significantly limited by agitated behavior.
Exclusion: Shoulder pain that in the judgement of the study team is likely to substantially limit the amount of telerehabilitation therapy completed; A major, active, coexistent neurological or psychiatric disease that would limit study participation, e.g., advanced dementia; Expectation that patient's cognitive status will likely interfere substantially with playing assigned games or exercises; Deficits in communication that interfere with reasonable study participation; Lacking visual acuity, with or without corrective lens, of 20/50 or better in at least one eye; Subject does not speak sufficient English to comply with study procedures.
