Telerehabilitation and Biomarkers of Recovery After Stroke in Brazil
Sponsor: University of Sao Paulo
Summary
The purpose of this research study is to provide preliminary evidence of whether telerehabilitation targeting arm movement, when added to usual care, improves arm function and reduces global disability after stroke, compared to usual care alone in Brazil. Evaluate the safety and feasibility of telerehabilitation in the Brazilian context. Explore the clinical, neuroimaging, neurophysiological, and economic factors that influence telerehabilitation efficacy in functional recovery following stroke.

Interventions
Telerehabilitation
Participants will receive 36 telerehabilitation sessions targeting arm motor function in addition to their usual care. TR consists of 70 minutes/day of activities targeting arm function, 6 days/week for 6 weeks. Half of these sessions are supervised by a licensed therapist, and the other half are done independently.
Usual Care
Usual care rehabilitation refers to the recommendations made by their care team.
