Envisioning the use of in-situ arm movement data in stroke rehabilitation: Stroke survivors' and occupational therapists' perspectives.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The key for successful stroke upper-limb rehabilitation includes the personalization of therapeutic interventions based on patients' functional ability and performance level. However, therapists often encounter challenges in supporting personalized rehabilitation due to the lack of information about how stroke survivors use their stroke-affected arm outside the clinic. Wearable technologies have been considered as an effective, objective solution to monitor patients' arm use patterns in their naturalistic environments. However, these technologies have remained a proof of concept and have not been adopted as mainstream therapeutic products, and we lack understanding of how key stakeholders perceive the use of wearable technologies in their practice.
