Improvements in motor control are associated with improved quality of life following an at-home muscle biofeedback program for chronic stroke.

Introduction: Chronic stroke survivors with severe arm impairment have limited options for effective rehabilitation. High intensity, repetitive task practice (RTP) is known to improve upper limb function among stroke survivors who have some volitional muscle activation. However, clients without volitional movement of their arm are ineligible for RTP-based interventions and require hands-on facilitation from a clinician or robotic therapy to simulate task practice.

Acceptability of a Telerehabilitation Biofeedback System Among Stroke Survivors: A Qualitative Analysis.

Electromyography (EMG) biofeedback delivered via telerehabilitation can increase access to occupational therapy services for stroke survivors with severe impairment, but there is limited research on its acceptability. This study identified factors influencing the acceptability of a complex, muscle biofeedback system (Tele-REINVENT) for upper extremity sensorimotor stroke telerehabilitation among stroke survivors. We conducted interviews with stroke survivors ( = 4) who used Tele-REINVENT at home for 6 weeks and analyzed the data with reflexive thematic analysis.

Functional and neuromuscular changes induced a low-cost, muscle-computer interface for telerehabilitation: A feasibility study in chronic stroke.

Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability in the United States. High doses of repeated task-specific practice have shown promising results in restoring upper limb function in chronic stroke. However, it is currently challenging to provide such doses in clinical practice.
