    Area of Science:

    • Neurorehabilitation
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Clinical Neurology

    Background:

    • Upper limb hemiparesis is a common challenge for stroke survivors, impacting daily activities.
    • Maintaining motivation for intensive exercise therapy (ET) is a significant barrier in stroke recovery.
    • Task-oriented ET, especially when gamified, shows promise for improving upper limb function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a home-based, tele-coached exercise therapy program for chronic stroke survivors.
    • To investigate the impact of functional electrical stimulation (FES) integrated with gamified ET on upper limb function.
    • To identify patient characteristics that predict response to the intervention.

    Main Methods:

    • A six-week trial involving chronic stroke survivors performing 1 hour/day, 5 days/week of gamified ET at home.
    • Utilized a workstation for tele-coaching and incorporated functional electrical stimulation (FES) for hand opening and grasp assistance.
    • Assessed upper limb function using the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT), workstation-based quantitative tests, grasp force, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

    Main Results:

    • Participants showed significant improvements in functional tests of upper limb function.
    • Individuals with intermediate baseline functional scores demonstrated the greatest improvements.
    • No significant changes were observed in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) responses, despite functional gains.

    Conclusions:

    • Daily, tele-supervised functional electrical stimulation-exercise therapy (FES-ET) is a feasible intervention for chronic stroke survivors using available technology.
    • The FES-ET intervention significantly enhances upper limb function, particularly in individuals with moderate initial functional levels.
    • Meaningful improvements in upper limb function can be achieved independently of changes in neurophysiological markers like TMS responses.
