Overview

Feasibility study demonstrates high adherence and improved arm motor function in stroke survivors, indicating video-based telerehabilitation is a viable supplementary therapy.

Key Points

  • To develop and evaluate the feasibility, adherence, acceptability, and motor function outcomes of a video-based telerehabilitation exercise program for stroke survivors.
  • Conducted a single-group pre-test–post-test feasibility study among 30 purposively recruited stroke survivors.
  • Administered a 3-minute-42-second video-based exercise intervention designed to be completed three times weekly across four weeks.
  • Tracked adherence and acceptability via participant diaries, satisfaction with the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 (CSQ-8), and motor function using the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT).
  • Twenty-nine participants completed the study with a 97% adherence rate and reported high satisfaction (CSQ-8 mean [SD] = 28.6 [4.90]).
  • Upper extremity motor function improved significantly on the WMFT, showing a mean difference of 8.8 (95% CI: 4.75 to 12.9; p < 0.001; Cohen's d = 1.14).
