Telerehabilitation Early After Stroke

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Stroke

In brief

The purpose of this research study is to assess the feasibility of initiating telerehab in early stages after stroke during patient admission to an inpatient rehabilitation facility. Patients will complete 36 sessions of telerehab 6 days/week up to 8 weeks with a telehealth system provided in their hospital room and at their home. The system will include rehabilitation activities/exercises, education, and assessments to evaluate the patient experience and measure patient outcomes at the end of a 6-week course of telerehab.
