Integrating telerehabilitation and serious gaming during home-based exercise intervention after stroke: A randomized controlled pilot trial of the DISKO-tool.

Background: To support recovery after stroke, rehabilitative actions and innovations are needed in resource-limited health care and geographically distant regions.

Objective: The first objective was to explore the feasibility of performing home-based training using the novel DISKO-tool including both telerehabilitation and serious gaming customized to target dynamic balance poststroke. The second objective was to assess the outcome using the Balance Evaluation Systems Test as the primary outcome.

The impact of visuospatial and executive function on activity performance and outcome after robotic or conventional gait training, long-term after stroke-as part of a randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Visuospatial and executive impairments have been associated with poor activity performance sub-acute after stroke. Potential associations long-term and in relation to outcome of rehabilitation interventions need further exploration.

Aims: To explore associations between visuospatial and executive function and 1) activity performance (mobility, self-care and domestic life) and 2) outcome after 6 weeks of conventional gait training and/or robotic gait training, long term (1-10 years) after stroke.
