In 30 seconds
This Phase I single-arm study evaluated a multi-technology rehabilitation program for chronic stroke survivors. Sixty-seven participants, averaging 60.5 years old and 41.9 months post-stroke, engaged in an 8-week intervention. Statistically significant improvements were noted in mobility and global function post-intervention, particularly among those with greater initial disability.
Key findings
- 59 out of 67 participants completed the intervention, averaging 18.5 sessions.
- Statistically significant changes were observed across all outcomes (p < 0.05).
- Participants with poorer baseline balance and function showed greater improvements post-intervention.
Why it matters
The study highlights the potential of technology-supported rehabilitation to enhance recovery in chronic stroke survivors, particularly for those with significant initial disabilities. Understanding these outcomes can inform future rehabilitation strategies.
