Article Synopsis
- High doses of home-based telerehabilitation (TR) show promise for stroke recovery, addressing common barriers like access and compliance through supervised therapy that incorporates games, sensor technology, and daily assessments.
- The study involved 13 stroke patients who engaged in tailored TR for 12 weeks, demonstrating feasibility with over 79% initiation and 65% completion of therapy sessions, although compliance decreased in the later weeks.
- Results indicated improvements in motor function scores, especially for arm movements, and successful monitoring of patient fatigue and other outcomes, emphasizing the potential of a holistic TR approach in rehabilitation.
Article Synopsis
- Telerehabilitation (TR) has become increasingly important for outpatient care during COVID-19, especially for stroke patients, as it may enhance therapy engagement and recovery outcomes.
- A 12-week study of 13 stroke patients showed that their personal social networks significantly influenced their motor function improvements and mood, with larger and denser networks correlating with better results.
- Compared to historical stroke patients who did not receive TR, TR patients had larger and less dense social networks, highlighting the importance of social connections in maximizing the benefits of virtual rehabilitation.
Background And Purpose: Clinical methods have incomplete diagnostic value for early diagnosis of acute stroke and large vessel occlusion (LVO). Electroencephalography is rapidly sensitive to brain ischemia. This study examined the diagnostic utility of electroencephalography for acute stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) and for LVO.
