Using Large-Scale Sensor Data to Test Factors Predictive of Perseverance in Home Movement Rehabilitation: Optimal Challenge and Steady Engagement.

ABSTRACT: Persevering with home rehabilitation exercise is a struggle for millions of people in the US each year. A key factor that may influence motivation to engage with rehabilitation exercise is the challenge level of the assigned exercises, but this hypothesis is currently supported only by subjective, self-report. Here, we studied the relationship between challenge level and perseverance using long-term, self-determined exercise patterns of a large number of individuals (N = 2,581) engaging in home rehabilitation with a sensor-based exercise system without formal supervision. FitMi is comprised of two puck-like sensors and a library of 40 gamified exercises for the hands, arms, trunk, and legs that are designed for people recovering from a stroke. We found that individuals showed the gr
