Objective: To report participants' experiences of trial processes and use of the Neurofenix platform for home-based rehabilitation following stroke. The platform, consisting of the NeuroBall device and Neurofenix app, is a non-immersive virtual reality tool to facilitate upper limb rehabilitation following stroke. The platform has recently been evaluated and demonstrated to be safe and effective through a non-randomised feasibility trial (RHOMBUS).

For the stroke survivor, the repetition may be monotonous. For clinicians, providing a clinically meaningful level of input can be challenging.

Design: A non-randomised intervention design with a parallel process evaluation.
Setting: Participants' homes, South-East England.
Background: The 2011 and 2016 Stillbirth Lancet series made a call to action to identify mechanisms to reduce stillbirth stigma. This research answers that call, investigating the extent and dimensions of stillbirth stigma experienced by an international sample of mothers bereaved by stillbirth.
Objective: To determine the prevalence and type as well as explore explanatory variables associated with higher levels of stillbirth stigma with bereaved mothers in high-income countries (Australia, United Kingdom, The United States of America and New Zealand).
