Interventions

• Telerehabilitation — DEVICE
  The telerehabilitation system will deliver rehabilitation treatment sessions via a secured internet-connected computer. TR sessions will be a combination of games, exercises, stroke education, assessments, in addition to videoconferencing with therapists to discuss progress, issues, goals, and changes to the treatment plan.

Study Details

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether telerehabilitation targeting arm movement, when added to usual care, improves arm function and reduces global disability after stroke, compared to usual care alone. Patients with arm weakness due to stroke that happened in the past 90-150 days will be randomized into one of two groups: \[1\] TR and usual care; \[2\] usual care only (no TR), but people in the usual care group will be offered TR once the study is done. TR consists of 70 minutes/day of activities targeting arm function, 6 days a week for 6 weeks.

Arms

• No Intervention: Usual Care
  Participants in the usual care group will receive no TR, but will continue with the recommendations made by their care team. All participants in this group will be offered TR at the end of the study.
• Experimental: Telerehabilitation + Usual Care
  Patients 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.
