Development of a cohort multiple randomized clinical trial to test an integrated system of sensors and multimedia monitors technology, for stroke rehabilitation: the ROOMMATE study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stroke remains a leading cause of disability globally, creating significant challenges for healthcare systems. Early intensive rehabilitation is recommended (NICE2023) for functional recovery; but standard therapy may not cover all patients' needs. Stroke survivors should continue active task practice outside of scheduled therapy sessions (self-directed, or semi-supervised by family and caregivers), possibly by sustainable technological solutions. However, most technology-based ecosystems are not designed for healthcare. To test a digital stroke rehab ecosystem Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs) are the gold standard, but present ethical and logistical challenges, particularly in blinding and participant adherence. This study protocol (ClinicalTrials.gov; NCT06728020; Mar
