Motivation, Usability, and Credibility of an Intelligent Activity-Based Client-Centred Training System to Improve Functional Performance in Neurological Rehabilitation: An Exploratory Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: technology-based training systems are increasingly integrated in neurorehabilitation but are rarely combined with a client-centred task-oriented approach. To provide a low-cost client-centred task-oriented system, the intelligent activity-based client-centred task-oriented training (i-ACT) was developed. The objective was to evaluate the usability, credibility and treatment expectancy of i-ACT, and the motivation towards i-ACT use in rehabilitation over time. Additionally, this study will evaluate the upper limb treatment effects after training with i-ACT. (2) Methods: a mixed-method study was performed in four rehabilitation centres. Training with i-ACT was provided during six weeks, three times per week, forty-five minutes per day, additional to conventional care. (3) Res
