Background Telerehabilitation offers an alternate way of delivering rehabilitation services.
Information and communication technologies are used to facilitate communication between …

The use of wrist-worn accelerometers has recently gained tremendous interest among
researchers and clinicians as an objective tool to quantify real-world use of the upper limbs …

Background. Nonuse (NU) after stroke is characterized by failure to use the contralesional
arm despite adequate capacity. It has been suggested that NU is a consequence of the …

Many stroke survivors experience persistent upper extremity impairment that limits
performance in activities of daily living. Upper limb recovery requires high repetitions of task …

Background Wearable activity monitors that track step count can increase the wearer's
physical activity and motivation but are infrequently designed for the slower gait speed and …

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of a multicentre, observer-blind, pilot randomized
controlled trial (RCT) of a wristband accelerometer with activity-dependent vibration alerts to …

Maximizing the motor practice in stroke survivors' living environments may significantly
improve the functional recovery of their stroke-affected upper-limb. A wearable system that …

Wrist-worn accelerometers are often applied to measure arm use after stroke. They measure
arm movements during all activities, including whole-body movements, such as walking …

Purpose Telerehabilitation systems have the potential to enable therapists to monitor and
assist stroke patients in achieving high-intensity upper extremity exercise in the home …

Background Upper limb impairment post-stroke often leads to a predominant use of the less
affected arm and consequent learned disuse of the affected side, hindering upper limb …
