Application of the nominal group technique to inform a co-design project on power assisted exercise equipment for people with stroke

Purpose: Power assisted exercise equipment (PAE) is accessible for people with complex impairment following stroke. A range of nine seated machines which assist multi-directional movement are currently manufactured in the UK. People with stroke report significant physical and psycho-social benefits with use of the equipment, but current programming is not aligned with published exercise guidelines and does not generate feedback on user performance.
