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

ABSTRACT:

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.

Methods

This randomized controlled pilot trial, included ambulatory patients ≥18 years of age with physical impairments 3-6 months poststroke. During primary care rehabilitation, patients were randomized to conventional and 6 weeks of DISKO-tool training in the home (n =
