Perseverance with technology-facilitated home-based upper limb practice after stroke: a systematic mixed studies review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Technology is being increasingly investigated as an option to allow stroke survivors to exploit their full potential for recovery by facilitating home-based upper limb practice. This review seeks to explore the factors that influence perseverance with technology-facilitated home-based upper limb practice after stroke.

Methods

A systematic mixed studies review with sequential exploratory synthesis was undertaken. Studies investigating adult stroke survivors with upper limb disability undertaking technology-facilitated home-based upper limb practice administered ≥ 3 times/week over a period of ≥ 4 weeks were included. Qualitative outcomes were stroke survivors' and family members' perceptions of their experience utilising technology to facilitate home-based upper li
