Description:
Most people who sustain a stroke have partial or complete paralysis of one hand which causes difficulties when performing functional and recreational activities. These difficulties often persist even after completing an intensive rehabilitation program. The persistence of these difficulties is explained in part by clinical and administrative constraints and challenges encountered by rehabilitation professionals when attempting to implement evidence-based practices and emerging technologies to optimize functional recovery of the hand. Nowadays, the use of a soft robotic glove, coupled with a virtual reality environment, represents a promising and affordable solution to intensify and personalize the hand-specific rehabilitation programs while overcoming the constraints experienced by rehabilitation professionals. The goal of this project is to codevelop and test a home-delivered neurorehabilitation program relying on a virtual reality environment that supports the use of the soft-robotic Dexmo glove to facilitate the implementation of rehabilitation interventions underpinning evidence-based therapy and maximizing user’s autonomy at home
