Interventions

  • Technology-Supported Hand Training — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will undergo a remotely delivered, technology-supported hand training program that involves guided hand activities. These activities will target finger coordination, finger individuation, and performance in activities of daily living. Participants may interact with virtual or real passive items to supplement program activities. Activities will be guided remotely by a study team member using video conferencing.
  • Pamphlet-Supported Hand Activity — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will follow a home advice plan to improve hand function. The plan will be created based on the participant's ability and typical occupational therapy guidance. Activities may resemble typical hand rehabilitation activities performed in a therapy clinic and may involve passive items to supplement program activities. Participants will record their adherence to the program.

Study Details

This pilot randomized controlled trial will evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effects of a home-based, technology-enabled hand telerehabilitation program for adults with chronic stroke. Participants will receive either remotely guided hand training or a standard home exercise program matched for duration and intensity. Outcomes will include measures of hand function, adherence, and feasibility to assess the potential of telerehabilitation for improving access to structured post-stroke hand rehabilitation.

Arms

  • Experimental: Technology-Supported Hand Training Group
    Participants will undergo a remotely delivered, technology-supported hand training program that involves guided hand activities in 18 sessions over 6 weeks
  • Active Comparator: Pamphlet-Supported Hand Activity Group
    Participants will undergo home therapy intervention guided by an advice plan created using typical occupational therapy guidance that includes 18 sessions over 6 weeks

Primary Outcome Measure

Hand Spread [ Time Frame: Pre-intervention and post-intervention measurements will be taken on separate days, within approximately one week of the first and last sessions of the intervention, respectively ]
