Community Rollout of Technology Enriched Rehabilitation After Stroke: An Implementation Study
Sponsor: University of Strathclyde
Summary
The minimum guideline recommendations for rehabilitation after stroke are not being met. This compromises individual recovery and increasing the global burden of disability. A multi-technology solution, co-created with people living with stroke, has been shown to be feasible in both sub-acute and chronic populations but has not been implemented as an integrated rehabilitation service. The aim of this implementation study is to assess the ability of a technology enriched model of rehabilitation to deliver guideline recommendations in a range of NHS and local authority settings that provide rehabilitation services to stroke survivors at different stages of their recovery. The findings will be used to co-create a scalable, adaptable, and sustainable model that meets rehabilitation guidelines.

Technology Enriched Rehabilitation
The intervention is an 8-week long rehabilitation programme delivered entirely through technology, including virtual reality (immersed and non-immersed), treadmills, weight suspension and movement resistance, and power assistance equipment located in a gym-like space on a university campus. Individual programs are designed, supervised, and reviewed by a physiotherapist using principles of intensity, feedback, cognitive engagement, and aerobic activity to address the goals identified by the participant and scores from outcome measures at baseline. Participants should attend a minimum of two times per week and can more frequently for the two hour group based circuit class.
