Brief Summary

The department (Biomedical Engineering, University of Strathclyde) co-creates rehabilitation technology. To improve the quality of the feedback the investigators have set up a programme of rehabilitation supervised by qualified therapists (physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists) and delivered entirely through technology. This tests the feasibility of the overall approach as well as helping develop specific pieces of equipment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• 10-meter walk test (10mWT)

  Time to walk 10 metres

  Four time points; 1) Two weeks before intervention starts,2) immediately before the intervention, 3) week 4 (halfway way through intervention) and 4) immediately after intervention ends

Study Arms (1)

Chronic stroke survivors

EXPERIMENTAL

People well enough to exercise lightly but living with motor impairment following a stroke at least 12 months previously

Other: Technology Enriched Rehabilitation Gym

Interventions

Technology Enriched Rehabilitation Gym OTHER

The intervention is an 8-week long rehabilitation programme delivered entirely through technology, including virtual reality (immersed and non-immersed), treadmills, weight suspension and movement resistance, and power assistance equipment located in a gym-like space on a university campus. Individual programs are designed, supervised, and reviewed by a physiotherapist using principles of intensity, feedback, cognitive engagement, and aerobic activity to address the goals identified by the participant and scores from outcome measures at baseline. Participants attend a minimum of two times per week and can attend daily for the two hour group based circuit class.
