Impact of a Self-rehabilitation and Tele-rehabilitation Program on the Post-stroke Care Pathway

Sponsor: Association APPROCHE

Summary

The AutonHome® clinical investigation, proposed by Dr Charles FATTAL (coordinator of this study), and carried out by the Association Approche (delegated promoter), aims to use the AutonHome® selfeducation device for the rehabilitation of patients who have suffered a Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA), and thus respond to the problems of therapeutic discontinuity highlighted today. Neuradom's AutonHome® device combines self-education and telecare. This device makes it possible to carry out personalised self-education programmes supervised by the therapist, enabling the therapeutic link with the patient to be maintained without the need for the patient to travel. This tool has already proved its usability and perceived usefulness in a previous clinical study, which demonstrated the feasibility of a self-education programme for hemiplegic patients, based on feedback. AutonHome® was considered by users to be a relevant, useful and safe complement to conventional rehabilitation. On the basis of this feasibility study, the investigators wished to develop a second study around this AutonHome® device. In this second clinical investigation, in addition to perceived usefulness, the main objective is to demonstrate, in a population of stroke victims, that an experimental care pathway combining supervised self-education via AutonHome® with conventional re-education optimises the care pathway in terms of sensory-motor recovery, but also in terms of reduced length of stay and functional and medico-economic added value. This clinical trial involves two parallel arms. Participants will be randomised into a control group, undergoing conventional in-centre rehabilitation, or into an experimental group, with self-rehabilitation and tele-rehabilitation in addition to conventional rehabilitation. The AutonHome study is a pilot study, with the aim of including 40 participants. Each centre will recruit 10 participants on a 1:1 randomisation basis, with 5 in the experimental group and 5 in the control group. Participants will be monitored for 15 weeks. This clinical investigation is multicentre, with 4 centres involved: the Centre Bouffard Vercelli (66962, Perpignan), the CMRRF de Kerpape (56275 Ploemeur), the association Saint-Hélier (35043, Rennes), and the Fondation ILDYS (29684 Roscoff).
