Feasibility of an iterative rehabilitation intervention for stroke delivered remotely using mobile health technology.

Conclusions: Strategy training can be adapted for delivery using mobile health technology, with careful consideration to methods for training participants on new technology and the intervention delivery. Future research should establish the efficacy and effectiveness of integrating mobile health in delivery of interventions that promote engagement in client-selected activities and community participation. Implications for rehabilitation Translating the strategy training intervention from face-to-face to remote delivery required thoughtful adaptation of the intervention protocol. Strategies for training clients to use mobile health technology during intervention may be important when designing remotely delivered mHealth intervention protocols. Client safety should be considered within the design of the intervention protocol for a complex intervention designed to be delivered remotely. Future studies should examine the efficacy of complex rehabilitation interventions such as strategy training on clinical outcomes (e.g., community participation).
